Anandi Patel, a 37-year-old woman, became the third fatality of swine flu in Gujarat.
Health department officials said that she died on August 13, and her death due to the virus was confirmed by the private hospital in Maninagar- where she was admitted – on Monday.
Patel was a resident of Vastral locality in Ahmedabad.
Her samples for the swine flu test were sent on admission to the hospital, but the reports arrived as a positive case of swine flu on August 16 – three days after her death.
Reports say that the Gujarat government has now decided to take action against the private hospital for not reporting the death of the woman on time to the correct authorities in the government.
