3 member medical panel to probe pregnant woman's death after surgery delay
Pilibhit: A three-member medical panel has been constituted to probe the death of a 26-year-old pregnant woman and her unborn baby at the district women's hospital in Pilibhit, allegedly due to a three-hour delay in performing a C-section and lack of medical care. District magistrate Gyanendra Singh on Thursday directed chief medical officer (CMO) Dr Alok Kumar to initiate a detailed inquiry into the case. Following this, the chief medical superintendent (CMS) of the district male hospital, Dr Ramakant Sagar, initially formed a panel comprising orthopaedic surgeon Dr Sanjeev Kumar, gynaecologist Dr KK Bhatt, and anaesthetist Dr RS Gangwar. However, he later wrote to the principal of autonomous state medical college (ASMC), Dr Sangeeta Aneja, requesting her to finalise the names, stating: "As the district men's and women's hospitals function under the command and control of ASMC, its principal is the right authority to constitute the panel. " The woman, Laxmi Devi of Maidna village under Neuria police station limits, was referred to the district hospital at around 5.30pm on Tuesday by Dr Sahis Pal, in charge of the Neuria community health centre. She had been experiencing intense labour pain but showed no cervical dilation -- a condition that required immediate cesarean delivery. Her family alleged that despite her deteriorating condition, doctors refused to examine her until her blood test reports arrived. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ukraine: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo "She was in agony. My mother kept begging them to help her, but no one came," said her brother Ajay Pal. "She vomited around 7.45pm and collapsed soon after." CMO Dr Alok Kumar said the blood tests should have taken no more than 30 minutes, given the hospital's multiple diagnostic facilities. "We have an in-house pathology lab, an NHM-funded integrated lab, and a health ATM that conducts 35–40 tests automatically," he said. However, the test reports took over three hours, during which, the woman was allegedly left unattended. "Doctors only began preparing for the surgery once the reports arrived-- but by then, she had already collapsed on the hospital bed," said Dr Kumar. Naresh Pal, the woman's husband, said, "It shows no one checked on her for hours. The doctors noticed she had collapsed only when she became unresponsive." He said he had informed the DM and police and would file a formal complaint after the last rites. The CMO has asked for a detailed report from the CMS within two days.
