Udupi, Jan 10: In what appears to be a case of doctor’s negligence, a teenage girl died of multiple organs’ failure on Wednesday allegedly due to overdose of drug after she consumed allopathic tablets prescribed by an Ayurveda practitioner at Parkala Agrahara in Udupi.

The victim has been identified as Namrita (17), a resident of Parkala Agrahara and a student of first year PU at Vidydoya PU college in Udupi.

According to sources, a few days ago Namrita had approached an Ayurveda practitioner near her home seeking remedy for pimples on her face. The doctor had reportedly given her four allopathic tablets.

After a couple of days she suffered from high fever and was admitted to Kasturba Medical College Hospital in Manipal on January 6. After examinations, the doctors reportedly told the parents that the girl had suffered multiple organ failure as a result of overdose of medicines. Early on Wednesday morning she breathed her last in the ICU. The college declared holiday on Wednesday to mourn the student’s untimely death.

"As stated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, COVID-19 does not see race, religion, colour, caste, creed, language or borders before striking, and our response and conduct should attach primacy to unity and brotherhood," it said.

Moreover, several measures on the supply of food, medicines and other emergency assistance to Indians in need are being implemented across the Kingdom.

Earlier, Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Ausaf Sayeed on April 22 had interacted with Indian community volunteers from the smaller towns all across the Kingdom to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 situation, and evaluate the implementation of various measures to ensure the welfare of Indian nationals.
