Ruckus after woman delivers stillborn in hospital lobby

News posted by www.newsinfoline.com

Chandigarh, July 21 (PTI) Chaotic scenes were witnessed at a government hospital here this afternoon after the family of a woman, who gave birth to a stillborn, accused the doctors of not attending to her immediately. Chottu, the woman''s husband, alleged that the baby had died due to negligence by doctors at the Government Multi-Specialty Hospital. The family even raised slogans against the hospital and demanded action. Chottu, a daily wager, said he had brought his wife Bulbul to the hospital after she had labour pains. He alleged that instead of attending to his wife, the staff asked him to first get a patient card made. As there was a long queue, Bulbul''s condition deteriorated while waiting in the lobby and she delivered the baby there itself. Ruling out any negligence on part of the hospital, Head of Gynaecology Department Dr Veenu said "the patient or her attendant had not told the doctor on duty that it was an emergency case and that the woman had gone into labour." In an emergency case, the patient is attended to immediately while the attendants are asked to make the patient card in due course, she added. She claimed the woman delivered a stillborn baby.
