Uri, July 31 : A woman dies due to medical negligence in Uri area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Wednesday.
Mohammad Reyaz, the deceased’s husband told GNS that on July 18, his wife was admitted to the SDH Uri and underwent ligation surgery and
was discharged the next day.
“After some days, my wife’s health worsened, and her feet began to swell. On July 29, I brought my wife back to Uri hospital in the evening,” he said.
“The gynecologist on duty refused to examine her, despite explaining the severity of her condition,” he claimed.
Another doctor eventually transferred them to Baramulla, but his wife died upon reaching there.
