NEFIS CONDEMNS THE INCIDENT OF RAPE AT RIMS!
DEMANDS STRICT PUNISHMENT FOR THE CULPRIT AND PROBE INTO MALADMINISTRATION OF HOSPITAL!
North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) strongly condemns the incident of rape of a minor girl at Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal.
It should be known that a contract laboratory technician of the RIMS had allegedly raped a 12-year old minor girl inside the ECG laboratory room of the hospital. While he was apprehended and his job terminated by the hospital administration, the incident shows the extreme laxity of the hospital in ensuring security of the patients, especially women.
It should also be noted that RIMS has been recently in the news for rising incidence of delivery deaths there. Clearly, seen in conjunction with the present incident, the situation at RIMS appears highly unsafe for patients and women.
NEFIS demands strict punishment for the culprit. It also demands for a probe into the maladministration of the hospital and connivance of the hospital authorities.
