Injection proves fatal for teen

In a tragic incident, a 15-year-old girl allegedly died after being administered an injection at the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Akividu.
The deceased, Nidamolu Durga Lahari, had been suffering from a viral fever and was taken to the Akividu GGH by her parents for treatment. According to the family, a doctor administered an injection to the girl, following which she immediately fell ill, experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea.
As her condition worsened, the doctors arranged for her to transfer to the Government General Hospital in Eluru. Tragically, she passed away en route to the hospital.
The parents of the deceased have accused the hospital staff of negligence, claiming that their daughter’s condition deteriorated rapidly after the injection was administered. They expressed concerns over the nature of the infusion, alleging that it may have been improperly administered. The grieving parents have accused the hospital of fatal negligence, stating, “Instead of treating our daughter for viral fever, they killed her with an injection.” A large number of villagers gathered at the girl’s home, echoing the family’s accusations and holding the hospital responsible for the tragic death. They have called on the government to launch an inquiry into the incident.
