Allegations of Medical Negligence at Sribhumi Civil Hospital Trigger Public Anger After Video Goes Viral

Sribhumi, Assam: A viral video alleging medical negligence at Sribhumi Civil Hospital has sparked widespread public outrage, bringing the spotlight once again on the condition of emergency healthcare services at government-run hospitals in Assam.

The incident reportedly involves Champak Pal, who sustained serious injuries in a scooter accident near AOC Point late at night. According to his family members, Pal was rushed to Sribhumi Civil Hospital in a critical state and required immediate medical intervention. However, they alleged that hospital staff failed to provide timely treatment despite repeated appeals for help.

Relatives claimed that the medical personnel on duty showed little urgency in attending to the injured man. They further alleged that a doctor present at the hospital behaved inappropriately with the patient’s attendants, adding to their distress during an already tense situation. The alleged misconduct was reportedly captured on video by people present at the hospital.

The footage quickly circulated across social media platforms, drawing sharp criticism from netizens. Many expressed anger over claims that a critically injured patient was denied prompt medical care, calling it a reflection of poor preparedness and lack of professionalism within public emergency healthcare services.

The incident has reignited debate over the quality of emergency medical care in government hospitals, particularly during night hours, the availability of trained medical staff, and the effectiveness of accountability mechanisms. Civil society groups and social media users have demanded a thorough inquiry into the matter and strict action against those found responsible if the allegations are substantiated.

As of the filing of this report, the authorities of Sribhumi Civil Hospital have not released any official statement regarding the allegations or the viral video. The absence of a prompt response has further intensified public dissatisfaction and calls for transparency and reform in the public healthcare system.
