Family demands action, govt intervention<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hospital says patient died due to hemorrhagic shock, multiple organ failure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srinagar, May 24 :\u00a0<\/strong>The family from Pampore in south Kashmir\u2019s Pulwama district staged a protest on Saturday after their relative died allegedly due to medical negligence at Paras Hospital, Srinagar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to the news agency\u2014(KNO), family members claimed that 34-year-old Waseem Ahmed Pathan, a resident of Bilal Colony, Pampore, died at Paras Hospital due to negligence by the medical staff. They said Waseem, who was admitted eight days ago for treatment of an intestinal infection, passed away Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His relatives gathered outside the hospital premises, protesting and demanding accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the protesting family, the hospital doctor charged Rs 2.5 lakh for treatment but failed to provide proper care, which they believe contributed to Waseem\u2019s \u201cuntimely\u201d death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWaseem had a cyst that was surgically removed a few days ago and was discharged. However, the next day, he complained of severe pain and was brought back to the hospital,\u201d Waseem\u2019s brother said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said Waseem had to undergo another surgery because, according to him, his intestine was injured during the first operation. \u201cThis is not just negligence; we believe it was murder. We want strict action against the doctor and the hospital administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other protesters also called on Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene and demanded an immediate inquiry into the matter. The family appealed to health authorities to take stringent action to ensure justice. They criticised the hospital for its repeated alleged negligence cases over the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Paras Hospital administration issued a statement , saying that Waseem died due to multiple cardiac arrests, hemorrhagic shock and multi-organ failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hospital official said, \u201cWe are deeply saddened to inform that Mr Waseem Ahmed Pathan, aged 36, who was under our care at Paras Hospital Srinagar, passed away. Mr Ahmed was admitted on May 15, 2025, and underwent surgery for carcinoma of the left colon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hospital extended condolences to Waseem\u2019s family and assured that they are in ongoing communication with them to provide support and necessary information during this difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family and protesters continue to demand justice and accountability, calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Waseem\u2019s death. They are urging authorities to take strict action against any negligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
