Five patients died at PGIMS in the last two months, and the panel set to investigate has not yet submitted its report, even after the deadline has passed.
Five patients died at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) over a span of two months, raising alarm among medical staff and patients alike. The institute had formed a panel to probe the circumstances surrounding these deaths, with a deadline set for the submission of its findings. However, the panel has yet to hand over its report, even after the deadline has lapsed.
The delay has prompted calls for a swift resolution, as stakeholders demand transparency and accountability. Critics argue that the pending report hampers efforts to address potential systemic issues within the hospital’s operations.
PGIMS officials have stated that the investigation is still underway, citing logistical challenges and the need for comprehensive data collection. Nonetheless, the absence of a formal report has intensified scrutiny from health authorities and the public.
The next steps remain unclear, but the situation underscores the importance of timely oversight in healthcare institutions, especially when patient safety is at stake.
