A woman who had recently delivered a baby has died, and five others remain in critical condition after undergoing Caesarean sections at the government-run hospital here in Rajasthan. The incident, which took place on Tuesday, prompted an inquiry and closure of the post-operative ward in the healthcare facility.
According to officials, at least six women admitted to the New Medical College Hospital in Kota developed kidney-related complications after C-section surgery and were shifted to the Super Specialty Block, where one of them died while five others were currently admitted in the Nephrology ICU.
The families accused the hospital of medical negligence, alleging that the complications were due to “an adverse drug reaction or an infection".
