The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has established a four-member inquiry committee to investigate the death of a six-year-old girl during an eye procedure at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital. This decision comes in response to allegations of medical negligence from the child's family, who are seeking accountability for the incident. The committee is tasked with conducting a preliminary inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the child's death, which occurred on May 18. The panel will be led by Dr. Prashant Bothe, the medical superintendent of Kamla Nehru Hospital, and will include two paediatricians, Dr. Smita Sangade and Dr. Kiran Mahankale, along with anaesthetist Dr. Aarti Kadam. They are expected to submit a detailed report within seven days. Dr. Suryakant Devkar, assistant health chief of PMC, emphasized that the committee will review the sequence of medical events, the treatment protocols used during the procedure, and any lapses that may have occurred. Additionally, experts from Sassoon General Hospital will assist in probing the alleged medical negligence. The findings from this inquiry will determine the next steps for accountability.
