BJP MLC Chitra Wagh during her visit to the district women’s hospital in Amravati on Saturday
The lapse came to light during BJP MLC Chitra Wagh’s visit to the hospital on Saturday to review the fire incident that occurred last Monday.
Though a hospital drop vehicle was available, her family was told there was no diesel. Wagh was told that a pregnant woman advised referral to Nagpur had to be shifted to PDMC Hospital in a private vehicle after her family said they had no support system in Nagpur. Wagh found Reena Uike, a native of Madhya Pradesh currently living in Mahuli Jahagir, sitting on the steps with her baby and mother-in-law. Wagh sought an explanation from the hospital administration on the issue as well.
Uike had been admitted eight days ago for delivery and was discharged on Saturday.
Amravati : Days after three infants died in a fire in the SNCU of the District Women’s Hospital, the hospital is again in the dock. A new mother was forced to sit on its steps with her newborn after staff claimed the hospital vehicle had no diesel.
