Pune: The recent arrest of three doctors and one nurse from Sanjivani Hospital at Gadital, Hadapsar has indeed sent ripples down the medical fraternity.
The arrest came yesterday, on account of an alleged medical negligence case leading to the death of a female patient last year at the said hospital. The patient had been undergoing treatment for strong pelvic pain and unfortunately died during the course of the treatment at the hospital. TOI reports that the police initially registered a case under accidental death and referred the case to the state's government medical negligence committee at Sassoon hospital. Based on the post mortem report, the committee held the doctors negligent, based on which the police arrested the doctors.
"Following the committee's report, we registered a case of medical negligence under IPC section 304 (2) on January 4. We have arrested three doctors and a nurse in the case. We will soon arrest another doctor and a nurse found guilty in the inquiry. We are going to verify the doctors' medical qualification and their registration numbers with the state's medical council. Besides, we will take the CCTV footage of the hospital in our custody," a senior police inspector informed
