A 31-year-old woman has become the latest victim of post-delivery complications at a government hospital in Kota, Rajasthan, marking the fourth such death within a single week
Pinky Mahawar, a resident of Shriramnagar, died shortly after midnight on Sunday at the Super Specialty Block of the government-run New Medical College Hospital (NMCH). Her death followed a C-section delivery days earlier at JK Lone Hospital.
According to her family, Pinky's health deteriorated rapidly following the surgery. Her husband, Chandra Prakash, a daily wage laborer, reported that her blood pressure plummeted, she stopped passing urine, and she showed clear signs of kidney failure.
Chandra Prakash alleged that the hospital failed to refer Pinky to a higher medical center until her condition became critical on May 10.
