Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation Suspends Gynecologist Pending Inquiry into Pregnant Woman's Death
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation suspended Dr. Bhavana Pagare, a senior gynecologist at Rajmata Jijau Hospital, pending an inquiry into the death of eight-month pregnant woman Sonam Dongre. Officials cited prima facie negligence in her treatment, which included administration of steroid injections. Dongre's condition worsened after the second dose, leading to her death. The suspension follows public protests and concerns raised over the incident, with disciplinary proceedings underway as the inquiry continues.
