Over 20 Patients Died Overnight At Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital
Thane/Hyderabad, Aug 13 (Maxim News): As many as 23 patients admitted at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa of Maharastra’s Thane district died in one night due to alleged overcrowding and insufficient doctors, officials said today. Among those dead, over a dozen patients were admitted to ICU, and several others in the general ward.
According to the officials, some patients who were above 80 years of age died due to last-minute arrival from the private hospital to the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital. Recently, when 5 people died in a single day, NCP MLA Jitendra Awhad and other parties protested in front of the hospital.
However, according to Thane Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar, 18 deaths were reported in the last 48 hours at the hospital. He said that he has briefed Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on the issue and added that a committee will be constituted for an investigation into the incident.
In the 18 deaths reported in the last 48 hours, some of the patients who have died were already receiving treatment for various ailments including chronic kidney disease, pneumonia, kerosene poisoning, road accident, and other reasons. I have briefed the Chief Minister on these deaths. A committee will be constituted for an impartial investigation into this incident to find out if the patients received optimal treatment.
Thane district belongs to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Recently, Chief Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis laid the foundation stone of the Super Speciality Cancer Hospital in Thane.
