The parents of the 5 year old boy, Shavneet Kumar who is in a coma for seven days after being taken in with a fractured arm to CWM hospital, are still looking for answers on what has happened to their son.
No formal explanation has been provided by doctors and Shavneet remains on life support machine this morning.
Shavneet's aunt, Shobna Sharma said the doctors told them yesterday that Shavneet will not survive if they turn off the life support system, as he may not be able to breathe on his own.
Shavneet was taken into CWM hospital about three weeks ago after fracturing his arm after falling off a table at home.
His father, 33 year old Kinoya resident, Sanju Kumar said his son's arm was then put in a plaster by doctors. The five year old boy was then taken by his mother last Tuesday for the removal of the plaster, when the doctors x-rayed him and said that his arm was a bit crooked and they could straighten it the following day.
Kumar said his son went into a coma soon after he was injected with a medicine and taken into the operation theatre on the morning of last Wednesday.
Kumar said he is now going public with the issue as he has no other option but to call for senior Health officials to find out what is happening.
They are calling on the health authorities to find out how Shavneet who was taken in with a fractured arm, is now on life support machine.
Village News informed Acting Permanent Secretary for Health, Doctor Margaret Cornelius about the case yesterday afternoon. She has confirmed that they are now conducting their checks before issuing a statement.
