Reportedly in a bizarre incident at the Achampet Hospital in Telangana’s nagarkurnool, doctors left the body of a foetus inside the mother’s womb after its head was severed from the body during delivery. Meanwhile the issue came to light after the patient was referred to the Petlaburj Maternity Hospital in hyderabad where doctors found only the body of the child inside the mother’s womb and angry kin staged a protest and ransacked the Achampet Hospital on Friday.
Furthermore according to reports, 23 year old swathi from Nadimpally village was admitted at the Achampet Hospital on december 18. swathi and family was informed that it would be a normal delivery and the doctors had not mentioned of any other complications. swathi said“I was given an injection and soon after I was taken into the labour room, the duty doctor sudha Rani, who was assisting the delivery, called in two other male doctors to assess the situation. After a while, they told my relatives that the situation was complicated and we need to rush to the maternity hospital at Petlaburj. They didn’t tell what the issue was or that the baby’s head was severed".
Moreover the doctors at Achampet told she was in a serious condition and that the baby couldn’t be saved. We rushed to Petlaburj hospital where the doctors performed a C-section where they found only the torso of the baby inside the womb". Perhaps after the incident came to light, Swathi’s relatives ransacked the hospital and damaged furniture during which a police constable was also injured. nagarkurnool district collector and district Medical health Officer (DMHO) K sudhakar Lal took note of the situation and realising lapse on the part of the Achampet hospital authorities, placed hospital superintendent tara Singh and doctor Sudha rani under suspension. swathi is out of danger and her condition is stable, the DMHO added.
