The Government of Orissa has complied with the NHRC's recommendations and paid Rupees five lakh to Mrs. Binapani Khatua of Orissa, who suffered severe abdominal pain for four years and now cannot bear children due to medical negligence. On the basis of the material evidence, the Commission found that the doctors who operated upon Mrs. Binapani for the delivery of her first child, who eventually died, left scissors inside her belly. Post operation, she continued to suffer pain, but without bothering for proper medical investigations to ascertain the real cause of pain, the doctors after doctors simply prescribed her some medicines which gave her no relief. In the meantime, a daughter was also born to her. Finally, after about four years, her ordeal ended but not before two more surgeries; one leading to a futile exercise of imputing her uterus, meaning that she could no more bear children, and the other in effect, leading to the remedy by removal of scissors, which an X-ray showed were lodged in her belly. On the 18th December, 2008, the Commission recommended that the State Government pay five lakh rupees to the victim which she has been paid. The departmental proceedings against the two erring doctors in the case are being finalized.
