A nurse allegedly kept a mother waiting for extra five hours after giving birth to a baby girl at Gosairhat Upazila Health Complex in Shariatpur, as she failed to pay additional money demanded by the hospital employee.
Delwar Hossain, uncle of mother Sumi Aktar, told that nurse Sujala Rani did not let her go on Tuesday noon.
Sumi, 20, of Daser Jungle village, was admitted to the health facility with pelvic pain on Monday night and gave birth to a daughter the same night.
Delwar said, "When we're about to leave the hospital along with the mother and the baby after paying the dues, Sujala demanded extra Tk 2000 from us. She confined the two until evening for not paying the amount."
Upazila health and family planning officer Mohammad Abdur Rouf said on Wednesday he rushed to government-run complex on information and made Sumi, 20, of Daser Jungle village, leave the hospital without paying any extra charge.
Admitting demanding extra money, Nurse Sujala Rani told reporters, "All pay extra when any child is born in the health complex. That's why I demanded the money."
