Paras Hospital issued a statement about the death of a young man from South Kashmir’s Pampore. The statement issued reads:
“We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Mr. Wasim Ahmed Pathan, a 36-year-old patient who was under our care at Paras Health, Srinagar. Mr. Ahmed was admitted on 15th May 2025 and underwent surgery for carcinoma of the left colon.”
“Throughout his hospital stay, Mr. Ahmed received comprehensive post-operative care, which included not only physical recovery measures but also attention to his mental health needs.”
“By the sixth post-operative day, he was on a full oral fiber-rich diet, was having regular bowel movements, and was fully ambulatory. In line with our department’s protocol, he was discharged in stable condition and received a follow-up call on post-operative day 7 to inquire about his well-being and address any concerns.”
“Tragically, on the night of 22nd May, Mr. Ahmed returned to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and in a state of shock. He suffered a cardiac arrest in the emergency room but was successfully resuscitated by our team. Emergency surgery revealed significant internal bleeding, after which he was transferred to the ICU in critical condition. Despite the relentless efforts of our ICU and surgical teams, Mr. Ahmed suffered a second cardiac arrest and, sadly, passed away on 24th May due to hemorrhagic shock and multi-organ failure.”
“During this period, it was revealed that he had a history of psychiatric illness and had previously been prescribed fluoxetine, which was discontinued. Recognizing the importance of holistic care, a psychiatric consultation was also provided to support his overall recovery and well-being.”“We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Ahmed’s family and loved ones during this difficult time and we remain in close communication with the family to provide them with all necessary information and support.”
