Medical error

January 14, 2018

This is to draw the attention of the healthcare department to the gross negligence of Wahi Pandhi’s government hospital. The medical institution doesn’t have adequate machinery. This has put the lives of so many patients in danger. Recently, I took my father to the hospital where I was asked to get some tests done. According to the test reports, my father was suffering from malaria. The doctors prescribed some medicines and discharged my father. After a few days, my father complained of his ill health.

Since his condition got worsened, we took him to a hospital in Hyderabad. The doctors ran another series of tests and found out that my father never contracted the malaria virus. This is not an isolated case. Many patients were given given wrong medicine owing to compromised test results. The relevant authorities must take strict notice of the matter and take immediate action against those responsible for endangering people’s lives.
