Tension prevailed at a private hospital under the Saheed Nagar police station here on Tuesday after a woman died due to alleged medical negligence at the hospital. The deceased identified as Itishree Mishra was a resident of Bhimtangi here.
Sources said Itishree was suffering from a lung ailment and admitted to the hospital on February 7. However, she died while undergoing treatment at the hospital in the morning. Later, her family members created a ruckus in the hospital alleging that Itishree died due to negligence on the part of doctors.
“Last night, a doctor told me that she would be shifted from ventilator to general ward in four to five days. The doctor said she would recover soon. I was told that a heart x-ray would be conducted at around 1 am. When I asked the doctor about it, he got angry. Today morning, the doctor told me that she is dead,” said Itishree’s son, who also alleged forgery in the billing. However, the hospital authorities were yet to comment on the matter.
