Dr Kafeel Khan, a paediatrician and the head of the encephalitis ward at Baba Raghav Das Medical College, who saved hundreds of children by collecting oxygen cylinders from various nursing homes, was removed as the Nodal Officer after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Health Minister JP Nadda visited the hospital.

The doctor reportedly thought on his feet and arranged for oxygen cylinders with the help of his friends and private vendors. According to a report in DNA, parents of children admitted to the hospital said that had it not been for Khan, the number of fatalities could have been far higher.

Meanwhile, in a bizarre development, one Dr Bhupendra Sharma was appointed as nodal officer instead of Khan at BRD Medical College. However, no official reason has been given for Khan’s removal.

Dr Khan borrowed three oxygen cylinders from other nursing homes when the oxygen supply at BRD Hospital and even withdrew Rs 10,000 from his personal account to purchase 17 oxygen cylinders in order to save as many infants as possible.

Meanwhile, another child succumbed to encephalitis on Sunday, taking the death toll over 70. 11 children died on Saturday.
