Vaishali Kotabagi, the 28-year-old mother, was admitted to the labour ward at BIMS on Saturday and successfully delivered her child, the report added. According to her mother-in-law, Eravva, Vaishali’s condition was stable until Sunday morning. However, around 7 am, Vaishali began complaining of chest pain, which rapidly worsened. She was immediately transferred to the ICU, but her condition continued to deteriorate.
In response to the allegations, Dr. Ashok Kumar Shetty, the director of BIMS, told Deccan Herald that Vaishali’s condition remained stable up until Sunday morning. He confirmed that the attending doctors treated her for chest pain and made every effort to save her life. He attributed her death to heart-related complications, rather than medical negligence.
Dr. Shetty assured that an internal investigation would be conducted following the complaint from Vaishali’s family, the report added.
