Puerperal woman dies, reason uncertain

September 4, 2013

Mangalore, Sep 4: In an unfortunate incident, a woman died soon after delivering a baby boy at a government hospital here on Tuesday. However, the exact cause of death has not been ascertained.

The woman is Vishala (27), resident of Vamanapadavu in Siddakatte in Bantwal taluk.

Vishala was admitted to a government hospital in Mangalore on Saturday where she gave birth to a healthy male baby through Caesarean section on Monday. The condition of both mother and baby was said to be satisfactory soon after delivery.

However, Vishala began developing complications on Tuesday and her blood pressure fell, following which she was shifted to the ICU of a private hospital in the city.

Her health further deteriorated and she breathed her last on Tuesday night.

Doctors who treated her said that she reportedly died of renal failure and infection.

However, Vishala's family has claimed that she seemed healthy after the delivery, and alleged medical negligence by the hospital.

A complaint of medical negligence has been filed against hospital authorities at Pandeshwar police station.

Married in December 2012, Vishala's husband Ravi is employed in Muscat. Vishala had been staying at her parents' house few months before the delivery.

Ravi is supposed to arrive in Mangalore on Wednesday.

The new-born baby is doing alright, said her family members.
