Magistrate inspects KR Nagar hospital after death of woman

Following the death of a woman at KR Nagar Hospital after delivery, Senior Civil Judge Aravindra BC visited the hospital and inspected its functioning.

Family members and relatives of the woman staged a protest against medical negligence in connection with her death.

The Mother and Child Care Hospital caters to a large number of patients from KR Nagar taluk and neighboring areas. It is reportedly facing a shortage of doctors, especially anesthesiologists.

During the inspection, the judge checked the attendance sheet and checked the number of pregnant women visiting the hospital at the registration desk. He also inspected the laboratory, ward, operating theater and other facilities.

The hospital management has been directed to ensure cleanliness and hygiene in the premises and install a complaint box so that patients can register their complaints.

Another Civil Judge, Asrin, accompanied Mr. Aravindra during his visit.
