Niloufer Hospital: Staff tried to do away with post-mortem
Five deaths in a weekduring the caesarean surgeries at the hospital came as a shock to many.
Hyderabad: It turns out that no post mortem was done of the bodies of five women—Farha Fatima, Nusrat Begum, Bushra Begum, Anusha and Reena – all who had died after C-section surgeries at Niloufer Children’s Hospital on five different days.
Five deaths in a weekduring the caesarean surgeries at the hospital came as a shock to many, and questions are raised by the victims’ families about alleged medical negligence. The 20-year-old Nusrat Begum, who died on January 31 after two surgeries, had experienced heavy bleeding when she was operated on for the second time after a C-section. Nusrat’s family says the authorities at the Osmania Hospital, to where Nusrat was forwarded from Niloufer, asked them to take the body without a post mortem. The hospital staff warned them that if the family insisted on a post mortem, they might not even get the body.
