Kota, Oct. 26 -- A 26-year-old woman has died following a Caesarean delivery at JK Lon Hospital in Rajasthan's Kota, taking the number of maternal deaths reported after C-sections in the district to three in nine days, officials said on Sunday. Shabnam Bano, a resident of Chhabra in Baran district, underwent surgery on October 23. Her blood pressure reportedly dropped sharply after delivery, and she died late night while undergoing treatment. Her family has alleged medical negligence, while the hospital administration has denied the charges, saying she was brought in a critical condition. Dr Nirmala Sharma, superintendent of JK Lon Hospital, said Shabnam was brought to the hospital by her family in a serious condition and was in a coma when treatment began. Even the baby's heartbeat was fluctuating, she said, adding that the family had been informed about the woman's condition before the operation. "The baby was saved, but we could not save the mother," Sharma said, denying the allegations of negligence. She also said Shabnam had started experiencing seizures at Baran district hospital, where she had been admitted for two days for the planned operation. As the procedure could not be performed there, her family brought her to Kota, she added. However, Shabnam's brother, Sarfaraz, said she was admitted to Baran district hospital on October 22, with a Caesarean delivery scheduled for the following day. The operation did not take place even after 12 hours, and Shabnam began complaining of weakness, he said. Earlier, Reshma (40) died on October 16 at New Medical College Hospital after developing complications and Roshan Bairwa (30) died on October 18 due to excessive bleeding....
