Moodbidri: It is alleged that due to negligence by the doctors in Ladygoshen hospital, a woman died after delivery. District panchayath member Janardhan Gowda demanded action against the medical staff here at a press meet, on Wednesday.
Madhavi, wife of Thimmappa Gowda from Tenkamijaru village was admitted in Ladygoshen hospital on September 27. On the same day, she delivered a boy. The infant was healthy. “Till evening, the family was not allowed to meet her. On September 28, she was operated after doctors complained of bleeding. But soon her condition worsened, hence the doctors advised to shift her to Wenlock hospital. As there were no specialists available in Wenlock, she was taken to A J Hospital. But she did not respond to treatment and died”, said Janardhan Gowda.

“She delivered a healthy boy. It was a normal delivery. Doctors had said that due to heavy bleeding she was operated, but the family was not informed about it on time. During the delivery, there were no specialists. Only PG doctors and nurses were present. Even though there is a tie-up between Ladygoshen and Wenlock with KMC hospital, the patient was not refered by the doctors”, Gowda alleged.

As per the complaint against nurses and the doctors, DC has ordered a probe into the incident. “Doctors who are at fault must be punished and also the victim’s family should receive compensation from the government”, he demanded.

Taluk panchayath members Jayalaxmi Shettygar, Lingappa Gowda, victim’s family members Karunakara and Murthy were present at the press meet.
