Title: District Administration Responds to Tragic Death of Three-Year-Old Child in Domkyrkoh
Press Release Number:
05/10/2026
Description:
As per preliminary information, the child reportedly fell critically ill at Domkyrkoh and required medical attention. Domkyrkoh village falls under the healthcare coverage area of Mawkhiat Sub-Centre, a functional PM-ABHIM Sub-Centre which has been operational for the past year. The Sub-Centre is located approximately one and a half hours on foot from the village and falls under Rambrai PHC.
A Chief Minister’s Safe Motherhood Scheme (CMSMS) transport arrangement is available in the region for emergency patient transfers. However, preliminary information indicates that local health workers were not informed about the child's illness before or during the onset of symptoms, and therefore the available local emergency transport mechanism could not be activated at that stage.
The incident also highlights the significant transportation difficulties faced by residents of Domkyrkoh. Vehicular access passes through Mainop village, and the road becomes non-motorable during adverse weather conditions and heavy rainfall. Public transport options in the area are also limited
