Chikkamagaluru woman dies in post-natal stage
family accuses hospital staff of negligence, holds protest
Chikkamagaluru: The family of a 22-year-old woman staged a protest on the premises of the Chikkamagaluru District Hospital on Saturday night, accusing the hospital staff of neglecting health problems faced by the woman in her post-natal stage, resulting in her death.
The deceased woman, Ranjitha Bai, who was a resident of Vaderahalli Thanda in Kadur taluk, gave birth to her child on Saturday afternoon. At night, however, there were severe fluctuations in her health. Although the doctors at the hospital were informed of this, they did not treat Ranjitha in time. The hospital only handed them the child delivery bill, the protesting family members have alleged. The protesters have also demanded that the authorities concerned take necessary action against the hospital staff whose negligence caused Ranjitha's death.
