Allegation of Expired IV Bottle Administered at Gujarat's Danta Civil Hospital, Family Accuses Staff of Negligence
A family of a patient in Banaskantha has alleged medical negligence after a woman allegedly developed swelling after an expired IV bottle was administered at Danta Civil Hospital in Gujarat.
The family has now called for an investigation, and serious questions have been raised about hospital procedures and staff behaviour.
Report of Swelling After IV Given
The woman’s relatives said she was being treated at Danta Civil Hospital when an intravenous fluid was administered.
She apparently swelled up shortly after. The family says they only realised the IV bottle was out of date once the drip had begun. The hospital staff were charged with serious misconduct.
Relatives have made several allegations. They say no doctor was there when the IV was started.
They also claim the nurse on duty was on her mobile phone and no proper checks were made before starting the treatment.
A relative said, "This is a clear case of negligence. Such trade-offs on patient safety are not tolerable.
Probe Likely, No Response From Hospital
The incident has cast a spotlight on safety standards at government health care facilities.
There has been no detailed official statement from the hospital authorities so far. Officials are expected to investigate the issue and review treatment records.
Demand for More Supervision
The case has been making rounds in the records. Many users are demanding tighter monitoring of medicines and medical supplies in public hospitals.
Health experts say such incidents highlight the need for regular stock audits, proper supervision of staff, and clear patient safety procedures.
Authorities will probably investigate whether any rules were broken and what, if any, action will be taken against those responsible.
