The Sawants, whose 12-day-old baby’s arm had to be amputated on December 12 due to alleged medical negligence, have lodged a complaint with the Kopri Police station against Dr Mahesh Gosavi, obstetrician and gynaecologist at Mata Vaishnavi Hospital in Kopri.
Residents of Ashtavinayak Colony and nearby areas are planning to protest against the doctors on Sunday.
“When our neighbours and acquaintances came to know about this, they insisted on organising a morcha to caution others in Thane about such doctors,” said Vinod Sawant, 34, the baby’s father. Though the baby is fine, the parents are distraught over the issue.
“We were told that it was a normal infection. The hospital reports did not mention gangrene or deep vein thrombosis,” said Sawant.
