Pregnant woman dies after being refused treatment
EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE
BANGALORE, Dec 29: In a tragic incident, Santhi (28), a pregnant woman in advanced stages of labour pain, died on the way to the hospital after two other hospitals refused to treat her. Santhi was taken to the K C General Hospital in Malleswaram for treatment where the staff refused to admit her on account of skeletal staff. Later a private maternity home in Rajajinagar refused to treat her stating that it did not have sufficient equipments to deal with such cases. They suggested that she be admitted to the St Martha's hospital some five kilometres from here. But Santhi died on the way to St Martha's hospital.Copyright © 1998 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
