Nearly five years after a 51-year-old woman from Sector 47-D died of multiple organ failure after a gallbladder surgery at Santokh Hospital, Sector 38-A, police have booked the hospital owner and two more doctors for medical negligence.
The patient, Mamta, a homemaker, had approached the hospital on November 25, 2020, due to stomach pain.
After medical tests, Dr Kuldeep Singh, owner of the hospital, diagnosed her with gallbladder stones and advised immediate surgery. Following the diagnosis, Mamta was operated upon by Dr Gurnaj Singh on November 27, according to the police complaint by her husband, Madan Pal, formerly a senior assistant at the deputy commissioner’s office.
