A serious incident has come to light at Siwan Sadar Hospital, where Dr. Sarfuddin is accused of misbehaving with a journalist. The incident occurred when the journalist was gathering information regarding alleged patient referrals to private hospitals and negligence within the hospital. It is alleged that Dr. Sarfuddin frequently refers patients from Sadar Hospital to private facilities, raising questions about the efficacy of government healthcare services.

The journalist reported that they were investigating irregularities and complaints of negligence towards patients in the hospital. Upon contacting Dr. Sarfuddin, he allegedly used abusive language and attempted to intimidate the journalist. This incident has cast a serious shadow over the functioning of the hospital administration and the health department.

Local residents and patients claim that several doctors at Sadar Hospital often unnecessarily refer patients to private clinics or hospitals, imposing a financial burden on poor patients. Dr. Sarfuddin is also accused of misusing his position to send patients to private hospitals, where he potentially receives commissions.

This incident has sparked outrage among journalists, who are demanding action against Dr. Sarfuddin. They emphasize the need for transparency and accountability in government hospitals, stating that obstructing journalists from doing their work goes against democratic values. A high-level inquiry into the entire matter and strict action against those found guilty is expected from the health department to prevent such incidents in the future and ensure that patients receive proper and affordable healthcare services.
