NIZAMABAD: Tension prevailed for some time outside a private hospital here on Saturday following a protest staged by the relatives of a pregnant woman who allegedly died due to the negligence of doctors.
According to sources, the management of the hospital located at Khaleelwadi gave a cheque for Rs 10 lakh as compensation to the relatives of the woman.
The victim, Khanttam Sravanthi, who was one-month pregnant approached the hospital for checkup. After conducting various tests, the doctors allegedly told the woman that the foetus was facing heart and lung-related issues and advised abortion.
