The PMCH girl death case has sparked a major investigation in Patna. A 3-year-old girl died during surgery at PMCH, and her family wants answers. The hospital has formed a four-member team to study what happened. Officials say the team will submit its report within two weeks. The PMCH girl death case has drawn strong reactions from the public and the girl’s family.
Her parents say she died because doctors gave her a high dose of anesthesia. They also say she never woke up after the operation. The hospital management says the real cause will be known only after the inquiry.
The girl, Avantika Rai from Gopalganj, had fractured both legs while playing. Her family brought her to Patna for better treatment. Doctors scheduled her surgery for December 2. She was sedated for the procedure but did not regain consciousness. Her condition became critical, and she died on December 6.
A committee of senior doctors from orthopedics, pediatrics and other departments will review every detail. The family claims doctors gave a double dose of anesthesia. The hospital says it will act based on the investigation report.
