Following the incident, Mumbai’s civic body, BMC, swung into the action and formed a a 10-member committee to probe the matter. The committee also included doctors from state-run JJ Hospital.
The deceased woman has been identified as Saheedunnissa Ansari, a resident of Bhandup, a locality in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the woman’s relatives mobilised protests outside the hospital on Tuesday and Wednesday. The woman’s relatives have also alleged that the healthcare facility of the hospital did not have the necessary equipment for emergency like oxygen cylinders.
According to Times of India, the doctors had to perform a C-section on her under the torchlight of mobile phones due to frequent power cuts in the city on Monday.
However, the BMC executive health officer admitted that there were some
issues with the generator at the healthcare facility due to which the doctors had to take such a decision. She further informed that the woman had postpartum
hemorrhage (PPH) due to which she suffered severe vaginal bleeding after childbirth.
“PPH cannot be predicted,” The BMC official said, adding Saheedunnissa also had convulsions before being shifted. Notably, PPH is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in India.
