After a woman died, her family claims medical malpractice

The family of a 27-year-old woman who died on Tuesday morning after undergoing surgery at a private hospital in Rabupura has accused doctors of negligence.

Poonam, a resident of Aachhepur village in Greater Noida, was identified by police as the deceased woman.

“After several doctor consultations, it was decided to remove her uterus” (following several health issues). We admitted her to the hospital, where she underwent the procedure,” according to the police report filed by the woman’s husband, Pradeep. Poonam, he claimed, died during the operation.

Police said that they rushed a team to the hospital at around 5am when they were informed of the family alleging negligence.

“The body was taken into custody and sent for an autopsy. The family claims that the doctor who did the operation was a quack,” said additional deputy commissioner of police (Zone 3) Vishal Pandey.

Based on the family’s complaint, a case was registered against the owner and the doctor under section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder ) of the Indian Penal Code at the Rabupura police station.

In the evening, family members of the victim and other people gathered outside the hospital demanding compensation for the woman’s death.

“We have assured the family of due action against any responsible parties after a thorough investigation. The group dispersed after that,” said Pandey, adding that the autopsy report was awaited.
