Woman Dies Post-Family Planning Surgery; Family Alleges Medical Negligence
A woman went to a local health center for a family planning operation.
After the surgery, she got very sick.
The doctor told her husband to take her to a bigger hospital.
Sadly, she passed away in the ambulance on the way.
Her family was very upset and believed the surgery was done incorrectly by a doctor who wasn't experienced enough.
They gathered outside the health center with her body to protest and ask for the doctor and others involved to be held responsible.

A 30-year-old woman died after undergoing a family planning operation at a Community Health Centre (CHC) in Odisha's Jajpur district.

The woman's condition worsened after the surgery, and she died in an ambulance while being transferred to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack.
Family members and villagers protested with the body in front of the hospital, demanding action against the doctor and an ASHA worker.
