Over a dozen women suffer burns, infections after c-sec procedures in Pilibhit hosp
Pilibhit: Over a dozen women suffered burns, blisters, and skin infections after undergoing lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) procedures at the district women's hospital in Pilibhit. The hospital, which functions under the Autonomous State Medical College (ASMC), has recently come under fire for negligence in its medico-legal procedures. The affected women, who were admitted between June 1 and June 5, reported acute burns, blackened skin, and blisters on their backs following their surgeries. Private surgeons in Pilibhit, including Dr B Das and Dr Shailendra Singh, and former chief medical superintendent (CMS) of the hospital, Dr Anita Chaurasia, suspect the cause could be contaminated disinfectant solutions, unsterilised stretchers, or infected bedsheets used in the operation theatre and recovery wards. "Savlon, a disinfectant solution, is commonly applied for cleaning the back of the patient before administering spinal anaesthesia," said Das. A senior surgeon from ASMC, however, did not rule out the possibility of cautery burns due to mishandling of electrocautery equipment during the procedures. One of the victims, Princi Devi from Jyoraha Kalyanpur village, said she developed a severe burning sensation on her back a day after her surgery on June 2, which quickly worsened into blisters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Boots is giving free 75-minute hearing checks in Enfield.

Similar complaints were raised by Birla Devi of Khamaria Dalelgang, Vimla Devi of Daulatpur Patti, and Chaman Devi of Murha Semnagar village, all of whom later sought private medical treatment, spending between Rs 1,500 and Rs 2,000 for relief. The victims also alleged that they were compelled to pay a bribe of Rs 4,500 to hospital staff through Asha workers. Notably, under a govt scheme encouraging institutional deliveries, Asha workers and new mothers are entitled to cash rewards. "Asha workers receive Rs 400 per delivery, while new mothers are entitled to Rs 1,000 in urban areas and Rs 1,400 in rural regions," said CMO Dr Alok Kumar. ASMC principal, Dr Sangeeta Aneja, said she will call for a detailed report from the hospital authorities. "I was informed of one such matter on June 1,and had ordered the replacement of the entire stock of Betadine solution," she said. The CMO has directed the chief medical superintendent (CMS) of the women's hospital, Dr Rajesh Kumar, to submit all relevant medical records within a week. "He has also been warned to ensure such incidents are not repeated," Kumar said. Officials said the number of affected patients could be higher, with unreported cases possibly stretching back to Jan this year. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
