Two more women die in Rajasthan after C-sections; probe committee formed

Two women who underwent caesarean sections at a government hospital in Bundi died at separate private hospitals in Kota earlier this week. The children delivered through surgery are reported to be in good health.

The Medical and Health Department has temporarily sealed the operating theatre at the District Women’s Hospital in Bundi and launched infection-control measures, besides conducting sampling and culture testing. Bundi Collector Harphool Singh Yadav has sought a report on the incident from the department.

The latest deaths follow a series of instances of fatal complications following C-sections reported at government hospitals across the State in recent months.
