Tragedy in Bundi: Medical Negligence Allegations Surface

An eight-month pregnant woman in Bundi died allegedly due to medical negligence, sparking protests by her family and local Congress members. Officials initiated an investigation into the incident, forming a high-level committee. They allege negligence since her pregnancy began, leading to severe anaemia.

In a tragic incident in Bundi, a pregnant woman lost her life, allegedly due to medical negligence at a government medical college. Her family, supported by Congress activists, protested against the staff's actions, demanding accountability and action.

The woman, identified as Indira Kanwar, 42, was eight months pregnant and suffering from critically low haemoglobin levels. She was admitted on a Saturday evening and diagnosed by Dr. Amar Singh, who prescribed a blood transfusion. However, the transfusion was delayed due to the family's inability to arrange blood promptly.

A high-level inquiry has been launched by local authorities, with the case highlighting broader concerns of neglected healthcare responsibilities during the woman's pregnancy. The incident has resulted in staff reassignments, as officials probe the alleged prolonged negligence.
