Gorakhpur: On the first anniversary of the Gorakhpur Medical tragedy, Dr. Kafeel Khan has organised a free and discounted medical camp for Encephalitis on Aug 11 in Gorakhpur. He was falsely accused of causing the death of over 60 children due to the lack of oxygen supply. The incident had occurred on the night of Aug 10-11 in 2017.
Dr. Khan was in charge of the paediatrics wing at BRD Medical and had arranged oxygen cylinders from a private hospital when the incident occurred last year. He was removed and arrested on charges of negligence. He wrote a letter from jail detailing his actions and how he procured cylinders and paid off suppliers with his own money to save children at the hospital. He recently got bail in April.
