Denied admission by govt hospital, woman gives birth in night-shelter
(Sourced from PTI)
A woman delivered her baby in a night shelter, with her family alleging that she was denied admission to a district women's hospital in UP's Muzaffarnagar, a charge refuted by the medical facility's superintendent. The incident took place yesterday when Kajal's husband brought her to the district women's hospital after she complained of pains. The hospital ordered an inquiry into the incident. Here's more.
The hospital's medical superintendent Dr. Amita Garg, however, claimed that the woman was not denied the admission, but was referred to a medical college. The woman's family paid no heed to hospital's reference and instead took the women to a night-shelter. Doctors of the hospital did provide medical aid to the women after the delivery of the child in the night shelter, she claimed.
However, the victim's family said they were denied admission by the hospital authorities and are protesting the negligence committed by doctors in the incident.
