Junior doctor dies after hospital delays treatment over payment in Hyderabad
A tragic incident unfolded at Medicover Hospital in Madhapur on Wednesday, November 6, when a junior doctor, Nagapriya, passed away after the hospital allegedly delayed her treatment due to unpaid medical fees. The victim's family claims they had already paid Rs 3 lakh for an operation, but were asked for an additional Rs 1 lakh for a procedure.
The family alleges that the doctors did not proceed with the critical procedure until the additional payment was made. After the payment was reportedly made, the hospital informed them of Nagapriya's death. This has led to protests from the family, demanding justice and an investigation into the hospital’s practices.
Local police have started investigating the case, and further legal action may be taken based on the family's complaints. Meanwhile, the hospital has not issued an official statement in response to the allegations.
