Delay in treatment at Pattukkottai PHC leads to foetus death

A pregnant woman, Kavinila (23), wife of Ramesh from Milarikadu near Pattukkottai, was rushed to the PHC at Nattusalai near Pattukkottai on Friday night after she experienced labour pain. Allegedly, the duty doctor wasn't present and did not arrive even after 12.30 am. Later, she was taken to Pattukkottai GH, where the doctor said the foetus was dead. The relatives, who gathered in front of the Pattukkottai GH, blocked the traffic demanding action against the doctors at PHC.
