Covid patient dies, family alleges medical negligence

by Vaishali Sharma

After a 40-year-old man died on Tuesday in Narsampet after being taken to a private hospital, his family mounted a protest, accusing the medical personnel of carelessness.
According to reports, M Ashok, a Chennaraopet village resident, tested positive for Covid-19 about a week ago and was taken to LN Hospital in Narsampet, Warangal Rural district, after developing respiratory issues.
According to sources, the hospital received a notification from the Warangal Rural district medical authority because it did not have licence to treat Covid-19 patients.

Speaking to mediapersons, Ashok’s wife Sunitha alleged that her husband had died due to the doctors’ negligence.

“The doctor came for rounds on Sunday night, and after checking my husband’s health condition, he informed us that Ashok had recovered from Covid-19 and would be discharged within two days.

However, on Monday morning, the hospital staff suddenly shifted Ashok to a private hospital in Hanamkonda for treatment without informing us.” Ashok died on Tuesday night.
