Judge inspects K.R. Nagar hospital after woman’s death
Following the death of a woman at a K.R. Nagar hospital after childbirth, Senior Civil Judge Aravindra B.C. visited the hospital and inspected its functioning.
The woman’s family members and relatives had staged a protest alleging medical negligence in connection with her death.
The Maternal and Child Care Hospital caters to a large number of patients from K.R. Nagar taluk and neighbouring areas. It is reportedly facing a shortage of doctors, particularly anaesthesiologists.
During the inspection, the Judge verified the attendance register and checked the number of pregnant women visiting the hospital at the registration counter. He also inspected the laboratory, wards, operation theatre and other facilities.
The hospital administration was directed to ensure cleanliness and hygiene on the premises and install a complaint box to enable patients to register their grievances.
Additional Civil Judge Asrina accompanied Mr. Aravindra during the visit.
