A cow, seeking shelter from the rain, wandered into the hospital and gave birth to a calf on the veranda near the cabins. This unexpected event highlighted significant issues with the hospital’s operations and animal control efforts.
Birth in the Wrong Place
Around the afternoon, a cow entered the district hospital, most likely to avoid the heavy rain. It found its way to the cabin’s veranda and gave birth to a calf. Unfortunately, the newborn calf died soon after birth. The hospital’s chief sanitation worker followed protocol and performed the final rites for the deceased calf.

Animal’s Presence Raises Concerns
The incident, which occurred at a human hospital rather than an animal care facility, has brought to light both the hospital’s and the animal husbandry department’s management practices. Despite the fact that the cow’s presence made animal lovers happy, it also raised serious concerns about hospital security and the effectiveness of animal control measures. How did the cow get inside the hospital grounds? What were all the security personnel doing at the time?
Delayed Response from the Animal Husbandry Department
Despite calls to the animal husbandry department, they arrived late to assist the cow and its newborn. This neglect has been widely criticized, and it is likely to have contributed to the calf’s death. Normally, such births occur in animal hospitals, but today’s incident at DHH was a stark departure, shocking everyone present.
Reflecting on the Incident
This unusual incident at the Sambalpur District Headquarters Hospital highlights the need for improved coordination between hospital management and animal control services. Ensuring the safety and proper care of both humans and animals requires immediate attention to prevent similar incidents in the future.
