TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL MUMBAI

75-year-old visits 3 hospitals, dies after confusion over cancer diagnosis in Mumbai

Joshi's case grew urgent. On Feb 26, he visited TMH again but was unable to provide the biopsy materials. A PET scan was recommended, suspecting malignancy. Due to long wait times at TMH, doctors advised him to undergo the procedure at the Advanced Centre for Treatment Research and Education in Cancer in Kharghar. The earliest available appointment was on March 6—the day he died.
