Sidhesh Shetgaonkar has accused Vision hospital of medical negligence leading to the death of his baby and for subjecting his wife to severe trauma, eventually leading to her death in the hospital.
In his complaint to the Bardez Sub Divisional Magistrate, with copies to police officials, Sidhesh had sought an investigation by doctors to conduct a post mortem examination to establish exact cause of death and for action against those responsible for the two deaths.
The autopsy was conducted at GMC Hospital in Bambolim on Monday and the autopsy report was submitted to the Sub District Magistrate (SDM) Gaurish Shankhwalkar on Friday.
The panel of doctors who conducted the autopsy have preserved the viscera of the body, which will be sent for further analysis to ascertain the cause of death.
Speaking to The Goan, Shankhwalkar said he would prepare a report and submit it to the collector.
The Vision Hospital has clarified it had done everything possible to save Saanvi Shetgaonkar, who was pregnant and had high fever when she was brought to hospital for medical treatment. The hospital claimed that her blood infection had increased drastically and she did not respond to medical treatment.
