Anaesthetist performs C-section at private hospital in Sargodha
SARGODHA: Due to the non-availability of a gynecologist, an anaesthetist allegedly performed a maternity operation in a private hospital in Bhalwal, resulting in the death of the baby in the womb and the mother being shifted to Dr Faisal Masood Teaching Hospital in critical condition.
Reports said Syed Ali Rizvi, of Bhalwal, took his wife to Naveed Hospital, Bhalwal, for a delivery operation. The gynecologist was not available, but the hospital administration made the anaesthetist perform the maternity operation. Due to his alleged negligence, the newborn baby girl died.
The aggrieved party staged a protest, and the police arrived at the spot and arrested anaesthetist Dr Naveed Aslam.
The family members demanded that the caretaker chief minister seal such a greedy hospital and that legal action be taken against those responsible.
