Viral video shows ayurvedic doctor performing C-section without safety protocols, sparks outrage
Siwan: A shocking video has gone viral on social media showing an Ayurvedic practitioner from Siwan, Bihar, allegedly performing a C-section surgery at her clinic in a poorly equipped and unhygienic room. The incident has drawn widespread outrage due to suspected safety violations and medical negligence.
According to the viral video shared on 'X' by a dermatologist, the woman, identified as Kanchan Kumari from Siwan, appears to be conducting the surgery without following basic medical protocols. The practitioner is reportedly not wearing a surgical mask or cap, and the room looks more like a storage area than a sterile operating theatre.
To make matters worse, her family member is casually recording a reel while the surgery is in progress. The room is crowded with people in normal clothes, possibly the patient’s relatives, standing around without any protective gear such as scrubs, gloves, or masks. There also appears to be no anaesthetist present during the operation.

The dermatologist with the user name - 'The Skin Doctor' heavily criticised the woman for her blatant disregard for medical safety. He said, "A gynaecologist, who can't even spell the word 'gynaecologist' correctly, is performing a C-section in what appears to be a storage room, with zero regard for universal safety protocols or infection control."
The remark was made after the Ayurveda practitioner in her Instagram handle claimed herself as 'gynaecologist', but instead of writing the word 'gynaecologist', she wrote 'gynelogist'.
He further questioned whether Kumari, who runs her own clinic in Siwan, is legally qualified to perform such procedures since she is not trained to perform such high-risk medical procedures.
Calling her actions “criminally negligent, the doctor said, "Given how frequently the govt changes healthcare policies, I’m not sure whether she’s qualified or trained to perform this procedure, but judging by her methods, she is certainly liable for criminal negligence."
The video has sparked widespread criticism online, with many demanding strict action from health authorities.
