Inquiry Ordered After Patient Allegedly Given Expired Saline at Navi Mumbai HospitalPreviousNext

A 52-year-old man, Gopiram Khadse, admitted to Navi Mumbai's NMMC Hospital with dengue symptoms, deteriorated after allegedly receiving expired saline. His family claims the expired saline caused severe reactions and worsened his condition, leading to his transfer to Hiranandani Fortis Hospital, where he died. The hospital cited dengue-related complications as possible causes. The family alleges medical negligence and has demanded action. The civic body has ordered an inquiry to determine the exact cause and responsibility.
