A hospital has been accused of negligence following the discovery that a woman had been carrying a dead baby for a week, reports Raajje.mv.
Lhaviyani atoll hospital insisted last Sunday that the unborn baby was in good health when the mother expressed concern after she felt it stop moving.
But they also advised she seek urgent care in Malé and doctors at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital found the baby dead after a scan on Thursday.
ADK hospital, also in the capital, had previously administered an injection to the mother for her diabetes. They also recommended the atoll hospital administer the injection, but her family said the hospital refused to do so.
