A major controversy has broken out in a hospital in Maharashtra, where over 30 people died in the span of just three days, sparking major blows from the Opposition.
A large number of deaths in a hospital in Maharashtra have now kicked up a political storm in the state, with Opposition parties slamming BJP for the incident, calling the deaths not a cause of medical negligence but “murder”.
The medical facilities in Maharashtra currently remain under a spotlight after 31 patients died in the Nanded’s Shankarrao Chavan government hospital from September 30 to October 2, in the span of just three days, raising alarm on the condition of government hospitals.
From the visuals coming from inside the hospital, it was evident that there was a shortage of supplies and a lack of proper staff, which might have contributed to the 31 deaths. Authorities also ruled that the main reason behind the deaths is a shortage of medicines.
However, the Nanded government hospital put out a statement, refuting the claims of any shortage of supplies or medicines, saying that the majority of the patients brought in the emergency room recently were in their “last stages”, which led to their deaths.
A statement by Nanded’s Shankarrao Chavan government hospital said, “There were 12 adult patients admitted into the hospital as five were men and seven women. Out of them, four were suffering from heart attack, one from snake bite, another from kidney disease and three were accident cases. The patients were in their last stage. Even four children were also brought into the hospital in a very severe condition.”
Earlier, the dean of the hospital had said that the establishment is only a “tertiary level care centre” and people come there with many high-level medical issues since it’s the hospital for 70-80 km. The hospital gets a large influx of patients which goes over the budget of the institute, which might have caused a shortage of medicine at the moment.
