KDMC Orders Inquiry Into Pregnancy Test Discrepancy at Dombivli Hospital
A 16-year-old girl’s family in Dombivli alleges that Shastri Nagar Hospital conducted pregnancy tests without consent, reporting positive results, while a subsequent private test was negative. The girl was initially treated for low haemoglobin and heavy bleeding. The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has ordered an inquiry into the testing procedures following concerns raised by a local corporator. Hospital officials confirmed tests were conducted but await investigation outcomes.
