A 22-year-old woman died after a C-section at a Kota hospital, while other women developed complications. Authorities claim the death was due to heart issues, not infection, and are investigating the cause of the complications.
Following the deaths of four women due to post-caesarean complications, hospitals in Kota report no new cases of infection. Six women remain under treatment, with one discharged and others showing signs of recovery.
Two more women have contracted infections at a government-run hospital in Kota, India, with family members alleging they were forced to move them to private facilities after complications arose. This follows a previous incident where several women contracted infections after undergoing cesarean deliveries at the same hospital.
The condition of three women remains critical after contracting a kidney infection following caesarean deliveries at a government hospital in Kota. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the infection, which has already resulted in two deaths.
Another maternal death has been reported at the Ballari Medical College and Research Centre (BMCRC), bringing the total number of such fatalities in the past month to five.
