After four women from the Rangareddy district near Hyderabad died after a sterilising treatment at a government hospital in Ibrahimpatnam, the Telangana government announced the formation of a commission to investigate the matter.

G Srinivasa Rao, Director of Public Health, told the media on Tuesday, August 30, that a committee of specialists led by him will present a report to the government in seven days.

Protests took place in Ibrahimpatnam over allegations of medical neglect, and the state government announced ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh and a 2BHK property under the government’s housing project for the deceased’s families. According to the DPH, the government has also offered to cover the costs of the deceased women’s children’s education at government residential schools.

ollowing the event, the CHC Superintendent, Ibrahimpatnam, has been put under lifetime suspension and the surgeons’ temporary suspensions were enforced. The State government has also ordered a probe, and Dr. G Srinivasa Rao, DPH, is in charge of it.

The remaining 30 women who had DPL at the sterilisation camp are stable. We have transferred a few of them to the NIMS hospital as a precautionary measure, and we are constantly monitoring their health. The sterilisation camp is a routine activity where skilled medical professionals perform DPL, tubectomy, and vasectomy operations. The surgeons who performed the operations had extensive training.

According to Dr. Srinivasa Rao on Tuesday, “The situation is unquestionably an aberration, and we are investigating the precise causes that contributed to the four fatalities.
