Updated: Nov 17th, 2024
Yet another patient died 11 days after surgery at Khyati Hospital in Ahemedabad, Gujarat, implicated in allegations involving the treatment of patients under the PM-JAY without their consent, using free medical camps as a cover to earn money.
Ganpat Valand, a native of Bajana village of Vinayakpura in Kadi, had participated in the free camp organised by Khyati Hospital in his village.
The doctors advised Valand to undergo surgery saying that one of the vessels in his heart was blocked. Even though his wife refused the surgery, the doctors performed the angioplasty operation, informing them that there would be no charge for the treatment under the PM-JAY card.
However, Valand died after 11 days of treatment as his health deteriorated after the surgery, and his family filed a complaint with the local police regarding the same.
About seven people including Valand were asked by the attending doctor at the village camp to visit Khyati Hospital for further examination.
Angioplasty was performed on Valand and his health later deteriorated. The doctors on duty referred him to a public hospital in Ahmedabad for treatment.
It was reportedly revealed that the surgery was the cause of Valand's worsening health, and the family therefore filed a case with local police.
According to the family, the police did not investigate the matter, otherwise, more lives could have been saved.
Valand breathed his last on November 4, and a complaint was filed by his family on November 15. In the complaint, Valand’s wife Laxmi, his son-in-law Kalpesh, and other relatives alleged negligence by the doctors at Khyati Hospital.
According to the complaint, Valand died after a surgery he did not need, only performed to gain government money under the PM-JAY.
