Priyanka Gandhi demands fair probe into medical negligence in Kerala
Priyanka Gandhi, a Congress MP, is asking for a fair investigation into a serious mistake at a medical college in Kerala.
A piece of cloth was left inside a woman's stomach after she had a baby.
Priyanka says the hospital doesn't have enough doctors or equipment, and people have to travel far for good healthcare.
She wants the government to fix these problems so that people in Wayanad can get better medical care.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra demanded a fair probe into alleged medical negligence at Mananthavady Medical College, Kerala.
A piece of cloth was reportedly left inside a woman's stomach after delivery, causing immense pain.
The hospital faces severe resource constraints, including inadequate manpower and critical medical equipment.
Patients often have to travel over 80 kilometres to Kozhikode for specialized care due to the lack of specialities at Mananthavady Medical College.
Vadra urged the government to ensure effective accountability and grievance redressal mechanisms at government hospitals.
