25-year-old woman dies at Anantnag Maternity Hospital; family demands probe

Anantnag: The family was later informed that her uterus had to be removed to control internal bleeding. She was then shifted to the ICU at GMC Anantnag, but tragically died during the night between Sunday and Monday at approximately 2:30 am.

The family alleged that performing two major surgeries within hours constituted gross medical negligence and demanded strict accountability.

Locals at the deceased’s home in Poshwara also alleged negligence. They claimed that internal bleeding is purely a result of medical negligence and demanded justice for her two children, one of whom she delivered before dying, and another, around three years old. They mentioned that such negligence at a district-level hospital is very unbecoming.
