A case of alleged medical negligence has come to light in Maharashtra’s Beed district, where a pregnant woman from Parli taluka reportedly carried a dead foetus in her womb for 22 hours.
The incident occurred two weeks ago, on April 23, after the pregnant woman visited a hospital over complaints of uneasiness and pain. The family of the survivor has alleged that the doctor attempted to hide the negligence and gain financial benefits.
The complaint letter is written to the Beed district collector, Parli police station, Sub-district hospital, and district health officer, citing that due to doctors’ “inexcusable negligence and carelessness, not only did the unborn baby die, but the mother’s life was also put in danger for 22 hours”.
