According to the Commission, Ravina Mane (21), was married off in Karad a few years ago. She was admitted to a local civic hospital in May, during her pregnancy.
The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) has recently ordered the state health department to pay a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the family of a city-based woman who died due to alleged negligence of doctors at a civic hospital at Karad, in Satara, after delivering her first child in May.
According to the Commission, Ravina Mane (21), was married off in Karad a few years ago. She was admitted to a local civic hospital in May, during her pregnancy. "Right after delivering a baby girl on May 26, Mane started developing post-surgery complications like inversion of her uterus. She was in a critical condition and had to be shifted to another hospital where she breathed her last on May 28," an official from the commission said.
The official further added that an enquiry committee was set up by the civic surgeon of the said hospital in Satara, and it found a senior nurse and attending gynaecologist Dr Supriya Yadav guilty in the incident. "While the nurse was sent on a long leave, Dr Yadav's services were terminated. The committee had further recommended a compensation of Rs 25,000 under the government project 'Kanya Mazi Bhagyashri' to the family," the official said.
"The only legal and logical conclusion which can be drawn by this Commission is that the Mane's case is a case violation of the human rights as a child came to be deprived of a mother's love, protection, which the child needs most at such tender stages. A husband lost his life partner and the parents their daughter and that too at a young age solely because of the arbitrary, casual approach of the attending doctors which eventually took away her life," said Acting Chairperson of the Commission, MA Sayeed.
The Commission has ordered state health department to pay a compensation of Rs 10 lakh to the legal heirs of Ravina Mane within three months. "The amount has to be deposited in the name of Ravina's minor daughter, with a nationalised bank with maternal grandparents as her guardian, with a further embargo that the amount on maturity would be again reinvested in the fixed deposit till the girl attains the age of majority. In default to pay the compensation amount, to pay an interest of 12.50 percent on the awarded amount till its actual realization," said Sayeed.
The Commission has also advised that in order to avoid repetition of such incidence, sensitization training should be given to the medical officers attached to the government hospitals throughout the state and vacant vacancies to be filled up with special attention to the posting of experts and specialists like gynecologist at civil hospitals as well as Public Health Centres with proper modern medical facilities. "Scheme should be devised for appointment of counselor to guide and advise expectant mothers particularly in rural areas," Sayeed said.
