'Major Health Hazard': Video Shows Cockroach in Patient's Meal At Prominent Hospital in Noida- WATCH

Noida: In a disturbing lapse at one of Noida’s prominent private hospitals, a patient claimed that a cockroach was reportedly found in the food served to a female patient at Fortis Hospital in Sector 62. The insect was discovered in a bowl of khichdi given to the patient, prompting outrage from her family and raising serious questions about hygiene and food safety at the medical facility.

The patient’s husband, who made the unsettling discovery, described the incident as a “major health hazard” narrowly averted. “My wife could have eaten that cockroach,” he told reporters. “She’s already unwell, and this kind of negligence could have made things much worse.”

He alleged that the Fortis hospital authorities were dismissive when he raised the issue. “They didn’t take it seriously at all. It’s shocking that such carelessness is happening in a hospital that charges lakhs for treatment,” he said.

Taking the matter further, the man has lodged a formal complaint with the local police, demanding accountability and action against those responsible for the lapse.

The incident, which took place earlier this week, has sparked concern among patients and their families, many of whom rely on hospital meals during recovery.

Fortis Hospital has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
