Two women recently died following Caesarean deliveries at the New Medical College Hospital in Kota, prompting an investigation into potential pregnancy-related complications. Reshma, 40, died on October 16, 2026, and Anita, 30, passed away on October 17, 2026. Both had undergone Caesarean sections on October 14, 2026. Reshma's family alleges medical negligence, stating her condition worsened after an injection, while Anita had a history of high blood pressure during pregnancy.
Doctors are exploring rare but severe conditions like thrombotic microangiopathy and HELLP syndrome, which affect blood and liver function. The hospital principal stated both patients were critical upon admission, with Reshma having a history of multiple previous Caesarean sections and excess amniotic fluid. Anita experienced rapid heartbeat and breathing difficulties post-procedure. These recent deaths at the facility follow a similar incident in May 2026, where five women died of kidney complications after childbirth.
