A day after a missing patient was found dead in the canteen of Nair hospital, another patient died in the hospital within 20 hours of being discharged. The BMC is now investigating both incidents.
Dr Avinash Supe, director of medical education and major BMC hospitals, said, "We have instructed the hospital to submit their report within a week." The second patient, Sitaram Badekar, 76, had been admitted to the hospital on June 9, after he fell and fractured his leg. He was given a discharge date of July 19, but as he didn't have any family, the hospital informed the Nagpada police station to either find his kin or take his custody. On July 23, the hospital procured a NOC from the police, and Sitaram was discharged at 11 am. The very next day, however, he was rushed back to the casualty ward, where he was declared dead on arrival.
