Gonda: A woman in Gonda alleged that her relative's unborn baby died due to medical negligence at the District Women Hospital here. Doctors, however, claim that it was a case of intrauterine foetal death.
The woman asserted that "Yashodha was not treated here so she was forced to lie outside the hospital."
"When we reached here at around 8 am, the hospital staff asked us to leave. The doctors here referred Yashodha to another hospital in Lucknow," she claimed.
However, doctors said that Yashodha was admitted but since it was a case of intrauterine foetal death, she was referred to Lucknow.

"I called the doctor who was treating the woman and asked for details and she informed me that it was a case of intrauterine foetal death. It was a diagnosed case and the child had died two days back. Doctors made several attempts for a normal delivery but ultimately the patient was referred to another hospital in Lucknow," he added.
