Death during childbirth: move to sue doctors flayed
Special Correspondent
KOCHI:
The Ernakulam district unit of the Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) has criticised the move to sue doctors at the Muvattupuzha Taluk Hospital following the death of a woman during childbirth.
The association leaders Joy George and Mohammed Ali claimed that in the preliminary investigation conducted by the association it was found that the death was due to cardiac arrest caused by complications during the surgery for childbirth. Such complications were commonplace, they said and claimed that the doctors had done their best to save the woman's life. She had been rushed to a leading private hospital at Kochi where she died two days later.
The associating leaders said it was wrong to blame the death on doctors' inaction. By making the doctors a scapegoat for the death would lower the morale of all doctors and discourage them from giving medical help to people in need, they added.
