National Health Rights Commission
NAGPUR: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has summoned the Chief Secretary of Health Department of Maharashtra state for not taking action in a case of medical negligence that had happened in June 2020 at Indira Gandhi Government Medical College (IGGMC) and Mayo Hospital of Nagpur.
In June 2020, a woman identified as Shabnam Bano was admitted to IGGMC in labour pain but doctors allegedly refused to provide services to her as her Covid-19 report was pending. The woman lost her child due to this medical negligence. As hospital authorities failed to take any action against the doctors, social worker Sachin Khobragade took this matter to the NHRC. After more than a year since the incidence, and a series of notices, reminders and correspondents during this period, the NHRC has finally issued summon to Health Secretary for not preparing any report on this incident.
