Allegations of mismanagement in treatment of pregnant woman at UP hospital, Deputy CM orders probe
Lucknow: In response to a complaint filed by the family members of a pregnant woman regarding allegations of mismanagement in treatment, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak, who also holds the charge of the health department, has ordered a probe against doctors of Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS) Lucknow.
On June 11, a pregnant woman was taken to the emergency department of the Mother and Child Care Hospital at RMLIMS due to severe pain and heavy bleeding. However, no doctor attended to her for close to two hours, and even after repeated attempts, the doctors did not respond promptly.

Eventually, a doctor arrived late and informed the family of a miscarriage. The family accused the hospital of neglecting the patient, maintaining unhygienic conditions in the labour room, and failing to conduct regular rounds.
Distressed by these irregularities, the family decided to discharge the patient themselves.
