Rajasthan Reports Another Maternal Death
A woman in Rajasthan died due to severe complications after giving birth.
She had uncontrolled bleeding after her baby was born and was treated at two hospitals.
Doctors tried many things to save her, like giving her blood and using machines to help her kidneys, but she didn't survive.
This is one of many similar cases in the state, which has led the government to take action to help pregnant women.

She suffered uncontrolled bleeding and was treated at Umaid Hospital before being transferred to Mahatma Gandhi Hospital.
Doctors performed a hysterectomy and administered blood transfusions, plasma, and platelets.

Quotes
Fateh Singh
Hospital Superintendent at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital
“In such cases, blood supply to vital organs is severely compromised, while platelet and plasma levels also decline sharply. To stabilise her condition, doctors administered six units of blood, 14 units of plasma and 10 units of cryoprecipitate during the course of treatment, but despite all efforts, she could not be saved.”
