The 22-year-old Bangladeshi national died of tuberculosis the day she was admitted to Sassoon hospital; authorities managing the shelter home claimed they did not notice any symptoms of the disease
Several questions were raised regarding the quality of medical treatment provided at homes for rescued minors and adult women in Hadapasar after a 22-year-old Bangladeshi national Ruby Shaikh (name changed) died of tuberculosis (TB) on the same day of her admission to Sassoon hospital on May 18.u00a0
While doctors said Ruby was already in the terminal stage of TB when she was brought to the hospital, rescue home authorities where she was lodged claimed ignorance about noticing any kind of TB symptoms exhibited by her. They said she had become weak after delivering a baby boy six months ago.
