The latest update has brought renewed focus on patient safety and accountability in private healthcare facilities.
The incident occurred at Ananya Hospital, where the family of the deceased has accused doctors of ignoring repeated complaints of severe pain after surgery. The matter has now reached the police, with a formal complaint submitted seeking action against those responsible.
Medical Negligence Allegations Surface After Gallbladder Surgery
According to family members, Ummala Mallayya underwent gallbladder surgery on May 26 at the private hospital. They stated that he had arrived at the hospital in normal condition and underwent the scheduled procedure.
Following the surgery, Mallayya reportedly began experiencing severe abdominal pain. Family members alleged that they repeatedly informed doctors and hospital staff about his condition but received no adequate response.
Family Claims Complaints Were Ignored
The victim's relatives alleged that doctors dismissed concerns by stating that such discomfort was common after surgery. They further claimed that despite continuous complaints, no additional medical intervention was provided.
According to the incident details shared by the family, Mallayya's condition worsened on the second day after the operation. They alleged that repeated requests for medical attention were ignored even as his pain became more severe.
Patient Dies, Family Stages Protest
Mallayya reportedly died around 4 a.m. while still suffering from severe pain. Following his death, family members gathered outside the hospital and staged a protest, alleging medical negligence and demanding accountability.
The protest drew attention from local residents and passersby, with relatives insisting that the patient's death could have been prevented if timely treatment had been provided.
Hospital Cites Heart Attack, Complaint Filed
Family members alleged that when they questioned hospital authorities about the death, they were informed that Mallayya had suffered a heart attack. The hospital administration reportedly denied responsibility for the incident.
Dissatisfied with the explanation, the family approached the police and submitted a complaint seeking action against those they hold responsible. A police investigation may determine the circumstances surrounding the death and examine the allegations raised by the family.
The medical negligence allegations at the Kukatpally private hospital continue to draw attention, with relatives seeking justice and clarity regarding the events that led to Mallayya's death after gallbladder surgery.
