💨 Abstract

A preliminary investigation into the death of Savita Birajdar (43), who suffered a paralytic stroke and brain haemorrhage, revealed serious lapses and delays by hospital staff and ambulance drivers at Rukminibai Hospital in Thane. The patient waited nearly five hours due to the ambulance driver's failure to act swiftly. The hospital administration issued show-cause notices and suspended several staff members, including drivers and nurses. The incident sparked public outrage and political demands for accountability.
