Medical Negligence in Delhi Hospital Claimed My Wifeu2019s Life - Husband

The tragic story of Gargi Meena, whose life was allegedly claimed by medical negligence at a Delhi hospital. This case reveals alarming details of unregistered nurses, fake certificates, and the family's pursuit of justice.

The tragic case of Gargi Meena highlights alleged medical negligence at Saroj Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, where she died following unexpected and urgent medical procedures in 2018.

Gargi was initially admitted for mild stomach pain before a planned family trip, but the hospital insisted on immediate surgery due to heavy bleeding from fibroids, despite her husband's concerns and advice from another medical professional.

Following surgery, Gargi's condition deteriorated, with severe pain and high blood sugar levels, leading to her transfer to the ICU and eventual death, leaving her family devastated and seeking answers.

The Meena family allegedly faced challenges with the hospital, including demands for medicines despite having cashless facilities and pressure to sign high-risk consent forms under distressing circumstances

Legal proceedings are underway, with allegations against the hospital staff for uncooperative behavior and the use of unregistered nurses, as highlighted by the Delhi Nursing Council's inspection report

The report found that 56% of nurses at the hospital were unregistered, raising questions about oversight by the Directorate General of Health Services and prompting calls for stricter regulations and accountability.

The Delhi Medical Council's order criticised the lack of skill and care exercised by the doctors involved in Gargi's case, with the matter now escalated to the National Medical Commission.

Despite the clear evidence of negligence, the Meena family continues to struggle for justice, with the hospital and health authorities yet to be held accountable for the systemic failures.

The broader issue of medical negligence remains a significant concern, with calls for reform and stricter enforcement of regulations to prevent future tragedies. The family's lawyer Prashant Vaxish speaks to The Probe on the need for immediate reforms.
