Kanniyakumari: The death of a fetus at Kanniyakumari Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) has sparked allegations of medical negligence and prompted a departmental inquiry. In response to the complaint, the dean assured that appropriate action would be taken against the doctor involved.
The woman, who is a resident of Vadakku Tamaraikulam, had been receiving prenatal care at the government facility, visited the hospital a few days before the incident. Her husband claimed that the attending doctor failed to advise hospital admission for delivery, despite the pregnancy being in its late stage. On Monday, when the woman returned to the hospital due to complications, a scan revealed that the fetus had died.
