Patient Dies After Alleged Neglect in Hospital

A patient's death has sparked an investigation into alleged medical negligence at a Pune hospital. Sanket Suryawanshi, a resident of Sangvi, was admitted on March 6 with severe breathing difficulties due to pneumonia. His family claims he was denied immediate ICU admission, despite critically low oxygen saturation levels.

Family members allege that doctors and staff delayed attending to Mr. Suryawanshi and initially dismissed the need for ICU care. The patient's condition deteriorated overnight, with reported bleeding from the nose. He was allegedly moved to the ICU only around 6 am, hours after his condition became unstable.
