Medical Mishap: Investigation Launched into Hospital Negligence

A private hospital faces investigation after medical negligence leads to a woman's uterus removal due to an infection caused by a gauze left inside her stomach. The incident occurred following the delivery of a stillborn child, prompting a complaint and an official probe.

A private hospital is under scrutiny as allegations surface regarding negligence that led to severe medical repercussions for a patient. Authorities report that a gauze, negligently left inside a woman's stomach, resulted in her uterus being removed.

The patient, Noorjahan, had initially visited the hospital in Bhojipura for childbirth, which ended tragically with a stillborn. Following this, she experienced severe pain and bleeding, prompting her husband, Tahir, to seek further medical attention.

An ultrasound at a different facility uncovered the presence of the forgotten gauze, leading to an emergency removal and preventive hysterectomy. On acknowledging a formal complaint, the chief medical officer mobilized a probe team and ensured stringent consequences for any verified culpability.
