Pune News: Shocking Incident at YCM Hospital - Newborn Declared Dead While Alive
Pimpri: In a alarming incident at Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital (YCM) in Pimpri, a newborn was declared dead by doctors while still alive. This incident, which took place on July 23rd at 5:20 PM, has raised serious concerns about medical negligence at the hospital.
The event came to light after IAS trainee officer Pooja Khedkar brought attention to another serious issue at YCM, where she was incorrectly issued a disability certificate. The recent case involves a woman who gave birth at YCM Hospital, and the newborn was declared dead shortly after birth. A death certificate was promptly issued. However, the baby was found to be alive and receiving treatment in the ICU, as documented in hospital records.
This negligence has sparked outrage, with demands for strict action against the responsible doctors. Despite the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s (PCMC) medical department recently being ranked second in Maharashtra, such incidents cast a shadow over their achievements. Commissioner Shekhar Singh, who praised the department’s accomplishments, is now being urged to address this grave issue.
Citizens are expressing their anger and disbelief at how a living newborn could be declared dead.
