BAMS doctor performs delivery at Patiala Nursing home, patient dies of postpartum haemorrhage
Patiala: A BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) doctor allegedly conducted delivery of a 31-year-old patient at a private nursing home, in Patiala instead of a gynaecologist following which the patient is reported to have died from postpartum haemorrhage on Thursday night.
As per the latest HT report, the patient was experiencing excessive bleeding following the delivery, and despite the efforts of the BAMS doctor to manage the bleeding, he was unsuccessful. Consequently, she was transferred to Rajindra Hospital, where she tragically passed away moments later.
Taking cognizance of the matter, the Patiala Health Department ordered a probe into the matter and asked the committee to submit a preliminary report within 2 days.
