A woman and her newborn baby tragically died after delivery at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Rewa, prompting a protest by family members who accused the hospital of medical negligence and misconduct. Kalpana Mishra, a resident of Mangawan area, was admitted for delivery on the night of August 25 and underwent a surgical delivery at 8:30 pm on August 26.
However, both the infant and mother passed away shortly after. Doctors are investigating the possibility that blood arranged from outside the hospital for transfusion before the delivery may have contributed to her deteriorating condition. An alleged overdose of anaesthesia is also under examination. The family alleged gross negligence during treatment and protests ensued at the hospital, causing tension for a considerable time.
Medical college dean Dr Sunil Agrawal suspended two nurses on duty and constituted a committee to investigate the incident. The post-mortem and probe report are expected by Monday.
