HYDERABAD: A 24-year-old patient's relatives held dharna at a private nursing home in Uppal after she died due to post-partum haemorrhage after undergoing a C section surgery. The woman R Mounika delivered female twins in Matri Priya Nursing Home who were rushed to the state run Niloufer hospital after the nursing home authorities suggested that the infants need to be checked at the hospital.
"My sister-in-law was taken into the operation theater at 11.30pm and was brought out at 7am, when she went into coma due to the post-partum haemorrhage and shock.If the hospital did not have a ventilator, defibrillator or even an ambulance to deal with a complicated case, then they shouldn’t have admitted and operated upon a patient carrying twins. My sister-in-law lost her life due to the negligence of the hospital authorities," said Satish Racharla, a relative of the patient.
After going into coma, the nursing home authorities shifted her to the KIMS hospital in Secunderabad where she succumbed after going into a cardiac arrest. "She was given CPR there but it was too late. The time wasted in trying to save her without any equipment’s at the nursing home and then shifting her to another hospital resulted in her death," added the relative. As per the brother-in-law, even the twins delivered were having a low heart beat and were given treatment at the Niloufer hospital. Uppal police rushed to the spot to manage the situation said authorities.
