A 30-year-old woman named Tanisha Bhise, also called Ishwari Sushant Bhise, died after not getting emergency medical help in Pune. She’d complications after giving birth at Surya Hospital on March 31, 2024.
The hospital where she was first taken, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, asked for a large deposit of ₹10 lakh before treating her. This is against the rules which say hospitals must help patients in emergencies right away, no matter what money issues they have.
Tanisha’s family pleaded for help, but the hospital staff insisted on the deposit. This delay meant she wasn’t treated quickly. After being moved to Surya Hospital, she delivered twins but her health got worse quickly.
The government of Maharashtra is now investigating what happened. The Chief Minister and Public Health Minister are looking into the case to see if the hospital did anything wrong. They’ll check all the documents, talk to witnesses, and look at hospital records to find out what happened and if the hospital broke any rules.
Many people in Pune are angry about this case and are protesting. Groups that help patients want changes so that hospitals can’t deny emergency help because of money. They want to make sure that all hospitals follow the rules that say they must treat patients in emergencies.
Experts say that this problem shows how difficult it can be to get emergency care in India, especially in private hospitals. There are calls for better rules and checks to make sure hospitals are doing their job properly.
The health department has promised to take action based on the investigation. They might make new rules to stop this from happening again. They also plan to review how private hospitals handle emergency care to ensure they follow the law.
The public will be informed about the investigation’s outcome to keep everything clear and honest.
