The death figures in West Bengal have been called into question by a number of people from medical fraternity.
Many doctors are scared of identifying themselves in fear of retribution from state machinery but there are some like Dr. Pratim Sengupta (Nephrologist in Belle Vue Clinic) who have raised a stink. Corroborating the nephrologist’s charges, Dr Archana Majumdar has been quoted as saying in a Sunday Guardian report that the state is hiding the real figures of death. “Let me cite one example. It happened this week at one of the hospitals. A patient, named Sudipta Mukherjee, got admitted and eventually died around 10.04 hours. She was 43 years old and her body was sent out of the hospital as a Hepatitis B case.”
