AMRI, salt lake
My brother died due to poor condition of ICCU

My only brother passed away on 09.09.2009.

My brother was admitted at AMRI salt lake on 21st of august with poly trauma due to road accident related injuries. Surgery for right femur fracture (Proximal Femur Nailing) was done as an emergency procedure. Post-op he was shifted to ICCU and his hemodynamic and biochemical parameters have gradually stabilised. He was getting better, gained back his consciousness and we were very much hopeful about his recovery. Suddenly he was diagnosed with jaundice but it was not the cause of his death. After two weeks in ICCU he was diagnosed with super bug MRSA (Methicillin resistant Strap aureus); Doctors were giving highly expensive antibiotics (40000 INR/day). We did everything to submit the hospital bills; we are now in debt. I still can not accept that he is gone. After paying so much of money for his treatment and care I feel that he did not get the best care. First of all AMRI ICCU is not in good condition. Beds are very close to each other, if one person has infection other can easily get that. Thy do not have strict regulation for visitors. visitors can go nearby to the patient without any apron or mask. Nurses are not careful changing their shoes when they are going outside. One day we say water is dripping from the ceiling.

The hygiene observed in this hospital was unbelievable. They call it as a super speciality hospital. Is that a standard for this well publicized hospital?

I am sure my brother got the infection due to poor hygiene condition of ICCU facilities at Salt lake AMRI. Whom should I complain?
