Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Sanjay Sharma told PTI on Saturday that the unregistered medical facility named Nandini Hospital was being operated at Shahpur Jot under the Kotwali Dehat police station area.
The incident took place on March 29, when a resident of Shravasti district was admitted to the Nandini Hospital and underwent surgery.
"In his complaint to the CMO office, Suraj Tiwari, a resident of Shravasti district, said that he had got his pregnant sister Manna Devi admitted to the hospital on March 29, and she underwent surgery. However, she died the next day, allegedly due to the negligence of doctors," the CMO said.

The hospital's operator, Dr. D.K. Vishwakarma, was issued a notice, while doctors of the hospital were summoned along with hospital records.
Since the local administration did not receive any response, a team from the state health department conducted a surprise inspection of the hospital on April 3. Upon seeing government vehicles reach the hospital, its operator locked the doors and fled, officials said.
Police sources said that on the complaint of the family members of the deceased, a case was registered on April 8 against Dr Vishwakarma, Dr R K Singh, and Dr Preeti Sharma under BNS section 106 (1) (causing death by negligence), news agency PTI reported.
"A recommendation has been made to seal the nursing home. There is a residential complex within the nursing home, so it is not possible to seal it without meeting the operator.
"The nursing home is closed now and a notice has been sent to its operator, Dr Vishwakarma, not to operate the hospital without departmental permission," the CMO said.
