Patient dies after gynecomastia surgery at Mangaluru Hair Transplant Clinic, Family alleges medical negligence

Outside the operation theatre, his mother and wife who were waiting anxiously were later informed by the staff that the patient's health condition deteriorated. According to his family members, the sudden deterioration in his health led them to rush him to a private hospital in Kodialbail, where doctors declared him brought dead. 

Following his death, the family members filed a complaint with the Kadri police, accusing the clinic of gross negligence. They alleged that the clinic’s doctor had mishandled the procedure, leading to his untimely death.

Additionally, it came to light that the clinic was located at a confined location which made it impossible for the ambulance stretcher to reach the clinic and pick up the patient in the ambulance. 

Condemning the incident, Social activist Rizwan Pandeshwar has urged the public to avoid clinics lacking proper infrastructure for cosmetic procedures.

District health officer Dr H R Timmaiah stated, "During a preliminary inspection by health officers, it was found that the clinic lacked basic infrastructure. An expert committee has been formed to investigate the matter, and the committee will submit its investigation report to the DC", reports IANS.
