Gokulbhai Dattatray Patil, a resident of Brahman Falia in Fatepura Kalupura of the city, died while undergoing treatment for corona at Gotri Hospital. The family members have alleged that death was due to negligence of the hospital. They not only pressured the hospital for Gokulbhai’s body to be taken home for the funeral but also threatened to stay in the hospital. However, due to COVID -19 guidelines, the hospital conducted proceedings for the funeral.
The son of the deceased said that his father was admitted to a private hospital in the Kalupur area as he had a respiratory ailment. Due to the non-availability of oxygen facilities at the hospital, he was then taken to Gotri Hospital on Sunday, as his health was deteriorating. As per guidelines, his Corona test was conducted. After the test came negative he was then admitted to the patient’s ward.
He further said that the hospital also told them that his report came negative and his mother met him every day. However last evening they called the family to the hospital and later after one hour informed about his death. They were informed that as per COVID – 19 guidelines the family won’t receive the body of the deceased.
However, he alleged that his father died due to the negligence of the doctors. As his father was admitted to the negative ward, he disagrees with the hospital that his father died due to corona. Secondly, his mother met him every day, and if she gets the infection then who will be responsible. He demands action in the matter and handover of the body to him and till then they will not leave the premises.
