Mother Dies After C-Section Amid PIH Crisis
25 Oct
Summary
- Woman died after C-section due to critical pregnancy-induced hypertension.
- Family alleges delayed surgery and inadequate care in Baran hospital.
- Hospital attributes death to severe PIH, not recent infections.
A 26-year-old woman, Shabnam Bano, passed away at J K Lon Hospital in Kota on Saturday night. She had undergone a C-section delivery of a healthy baby girl shortly before her death, while being treated for critical pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH).
Her family alleges that initial treatment at a government hospital in Baran, where she was admitted on October 22, involved significant delays in surgery and insufficient care. They claim her condition deteriorated, leading to seizures and a referral to Kota.
Doctors at J K Lon Hospital confirmed her critical state upon arrival, noting she had suffered seizures prior to the operation. The C-section was performed to save the baby, but Shabnam's blood pressure dropped sharply, leading to her death. Hospital officials emphasized that PIH-related deaths, particularly eclampsia, have a significant case fatality rate globally, and this death was not linked to recent infections at Kota's New Medical College Hospital.
