**Pregnant Woman Dies After Delayed Medical Care: FIR Filed Against Gynaecologist**
A tragic incident at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune has led to the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against Dr. Sushrut Ghaisas, a gynaecologist, following allegations of medical negligence that resulted in the death of a pregnant woman, Tanisha Bhise.
Reports indicate that Bhise was in critical condition when she arrived at the hospital but was denied immediate treatment due to a demand for a deposit of Rs 10 lakh. Her family was unable to provide the required amount promptly, causing a five-hour delay in her admission. As her health deteriorated, she was transferred to another facility where she delivered twin girls but tragically succumbed to severe bleeding shortly thereafter.
An initial inquiry conducted by Sassoon Hospital, along with two subsequent investigations, found Dr. Ghaisas and his team negligent for failing to initiate emergency care despite having access to Bhise’s complete medical history. This incident has ignited public outrage, with local BJP MLC Amit Gorkhe calling for stringent action, including the revocation of the doctor’s medical license.
The case highlights critical issues surrounding medical ethics and the importance of timely care in emergency situations, particularly for expectant mothers.
