Good Morning Nagpur
Tension erupted at Yes Hospital and Research Centre in Dighori, Nagpur, on Sunday morning after a woman delivered a stillborn baby through a caesarean section. The family members allegedly raised concerns after noticing injury marks on the baby's body and accused the hospital of medical negligence. The allegations have prompted police intervention, and a post-mortem examination has been initiated to help establish the circumstances surrounding the baby's death.
According to the family's allegations, the woman had reported reduced foetal movement on the previous evening. The family claimed that despite this concern, the necessary medical response was not provided promptly. They further alleged that the woman had earlier been sent home without a sonography examination, even after reporting reduced foetal movement. These claims have raised questions about the medical care provided before the delivery.
Following the incident, family members gathered at the hospital and demanded answers from the hospital management. The situation reportedly created a commotion, prompting personnel from Sakkardara Police Station to intervene and bring the situation under control. By Sunday night, the family and hospital management were reportedly preparing to submit formal complaints to the police.
As part of the investigation, police took custody of the baby's body and sent it to Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for a post-mortem examination. The examination is expected to help determine the cause of death and establish whether the alleged injury marks have any connection with the circumstances surrounding the stillbirth. The findings may also assist investigators in assessing the family's allegations.
The incident has raised serious concerns about maternal healthcare, timely medical intervention, and communication between hospitals and patients' families. Reduced foetal movement during pregnancy can require urgent medical assessment, making timely evaluation important for maternal and foetal well-being.
At present, the family's allegations of medical negligence have not been independently established. The findings of the post-mortem examination, the hospital's response, and the outcome of the police investigation will be important in determining the facts of the case. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
