Hyderabad: Denied admission, 50 pregnant women protest at Koti Hospital

HYDERABAD: About 50 pregnant women, who were denied consultation and admission, staged a protest at the Koti Maternity Hospital on Friday.
While a majority of them are yet to complete the full term of their pregnancy, even those who are in their ninth month were not given any consultation.
“My due date is on the seventh of this month and not one test was done at this hospital. I have got my tests done at private labs. Even for consultation I am being asked to come again tomorrow. I cannot afford to go to private hospitals,” said 30-year-old Prathima, who came all the way from Medchal. Like her, several women refused to go back. From 8 am to 2 pm they protested and demanded that the doctors take care of them.
