FIR Against Pune Doctor in Patient Death Case Sparks Outrage Among Medical Community

PUNE – The filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against city-based Dr. Sushrut Ghaisas, alleging medical negligence in the death of 37-year-old Tanisha Sushant Bhise, has ignited widespread anger and concern within Pune’s medical fraternity. Several doctors’ groups, led by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), have strongly condemned the action, describing it as “unjust” and raising questions about the investigation process.

The case centers around the tragic death of Mrs. Bhise. According to reports, she was initially denied emergency admission at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, allegedly due to an issue concerning a ₹10 lakh deposit. Subsequently, Mrs. Bhise was transferred to another hospital where she underwent a Caesarean section. She passed away several days later while under treatment at Manipal Hospital.

In response to the FIR against Dr. Ghaisas, the IMA has voiced strong objections. The association is questioning the procedures followed in lodging the FIR and has specifically drawn attention to the alleged role of Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital regarding the initial admission denial. The IMA has publicly stated it will provide legal support to Dr. Ghaisas.

However, the call for accountability extends beyond the individual practitioner for some. Health activist Dr. Abhijit More highlighted the need to investigate the responsibilities of both the doctor and the hospital infrastructure in this case. He stressed that accountability should encompass all parties involved in the patient’s care trajectory.

The incident has brought the complex issues surrounding patient rights, hospital administrative policies, and medical accountability to the forefront, prompting heated debate within the city’s healthcare circles.
