A shocking incident occurred at the Sanjay Gandhi Medical Centre in Riva, Madhya Pradesh state: a woman who had been receiving treatment for about a week passed away. The death became known when relatives noticed that worms were emerging from her nose. Following this incident, the patient's family leveled serious accusations against the hospital regarding the quality of care and treatment.
Relatives claim that even after the patient's condition worsened, she was not allowed to be transferred to another medical facility for better care. This incident drew the attention of politicians, notably the State Congress President Jittu Patwari, who tweeted about it, increasing public resonance.
According to available information, Archana Gupta from Satna was involved in an accident on a scooter on the 30th. After the incident, she was taken to the Sanjay Gandhi Medical Centre in Riva for treatment. According to her family, Archana's condition was stable upon admission. However, approximately five days later, her health suddenly began to deteriorate, and her condition continued to critically decline.
The family raised questions about the medical care and nursing provided, asserting that insufficient attention to the patient led to an extremely serious situation, including the appearance of worms in her body. Relatives insisted on the need to transfer Archana to another hospital for better treatment, but they allege that doctors refused such a transfer.
The situation escalated when relatives arrived at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to film the patient's condition. They claim that a doctor present there confiscated the relatives' mobile phone. Subsequently, the family began causing disturbances in the hospital and demanded action against the responsible doctors. They believe that timely access to better care could have changed the outcome.
After the incident, the relatives demanded an investigation and action. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Alag Prakash stated that a post-mortem examination was conducted at the family's request. Currently, two opposing views exist: the family accuses the hospital of gross negligence, while the hospital administration states that the patient's condition was extremely critical, and her brain was non-functional, although her pulse remained. The accusation of worms appearing in her nose after death made the case even more serious, and the family continues to demand punishment for the responsible doctors.
