Two experienced doctors who have delivered thousands of babies were ordered to pay a Malaysian family nearly RM6 million ($1.3 million) in medical negligence claims after a mother in their care bled to death following childbirth.
On Jan 9, 2019, Ms Punitha Mohan died from postpartum hemorrhage hours after giving birth to her second child at Shan Clinic and Birth Centre in Klang, Selangor. She had been admitted the night before.
The 36-year-old delivered her baby at around 10:30 am under the care of Dr Ravi Akambaram, who had also delivered her first child in 2016.
