Gynaecologist summoned after death of woman, infant
Madurai: A gynaecologist employed at Srivilliputhur Government Hospital was on Tuesday summoned by the Madurai bench of the Madras high court for alleged negligence of duty that resulted in the death of a woman and her infant.
A petition was filed by M Raja of Virudhunagar in 2012, against the gynaecologist Meera. The petitioner’s counsel told the court that Raja married Marialilly Paulin in 2001. She gave birth to two boys, one of whom was differently-abled.
In 2011, she became pregnant again. On September 23, 2011, Raja admitted his wife in the hospital. On September 26, she had labour pain at 4pm. But there was no gynaecologist available at that time as Meera was allegedly attending to patients at her private clinic. The patient and the infant died after Paulin’s amniotic sac broke. TNN
