A committee formed to probe a complaint of medical negligence against doctors who allegedly left a pair of scissors inside a girl's stomach during a surgery at Faridpur's Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical College and Hospital in March 2020, has submitted its report. However, the report didn't indict anyone for the "mistake", according to hospital director Saifur Rahman. "The three-member panel, constituted on December 12, also didn't recommend any action against anyone for the mistake, in its report submitted to me on Monday," he said. Surprisingly, the probe committee, led by Kamrul Hasan, assistant professor of the surgery department, did refer to similar incidents that occurred in different countries in the past, citing various articles published in international journals.

The other recommendations made by the committee include keeping a dedicated nurse for handling surgical instruments during an operation. In March 2020, Monira Khatun,18, a resident of Banshbaria union in Gopalganj district, got admitted to the Faridpur government hospital with complications of blood clot in mesenteric artery. A few days later, she was operated upon but a six-inch long artery forceps remained inside her abdomen.
