Abortion video: Nurse’s qualifications under scanner

Vadodara: Investigations into the viral video of a woman conducting an abortion in Santrampur in Mahisagar district have also raised questions regarding the qualifications of the nurse identified as Kali Sangada.
Santrampur police inspector P Bhoi who is conducting investigations said that Kali had studied at a private institute 20 years ago. He added that the course was a six-month course. But despite the questions regarding her qualifications, Sangada is said to be a good nurse with a long experience.
Bhoi said that Sangada was shown the video in the presence of witnesses and admitted that it was her in the video. She has been maintaining that she did not abort a foetus but cleated the womb after it was aborted somewhere else.
Mahisagar district collector, meanwhile, issued a notification stating that hospitals in the district should use only qualified staff. The responsibility of the verification of their qualifications will be of the hospital administration. Strict action will be taken against the hospitals if they do not stick to the norms.
Husband blames hospital
Vadodara: The husband of Kali Sangada blamed the hospital where his wife worked. The police, however, said that the allegations could not be verified. Kali’s husband Vinu claimed that his wife had told him that a doctor at the hospital where she worked had asked her to perform the abortion.
