Pilbhit: The junior resident doctor at Autonomous State Medical College in Pilibhit was expelled on Wednesday after a seven-month pregnant woman died due to alleged failure to admit her to the hospital.
Dr Sangita Aneja, the principal of 'Autonomous State Medical College' in Pilibhit took this decision after the doctor allegedly failed to attend to a seven-month pregnant woman without providing a valid reason for her inaction.
After the allegations of medical negligence were raised, authorities constituted an expert committee to review the incident. After the committee presented its findings, the junior resident doctor has now been expelled.
The pregnant woman was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state. The incident occurred on Sunday when the woman was transported to the hospital by autorickshaw for treatment. However, the hospital guard on duty advised the woman’s family to take her to a private hospital, reports the Daily.
