Protest in Kozhikode Following Deaths Linked to Childbirth Complications in India
Protest Erupts in Kozhikode
The family members of a woman and her baby who tragically died following complications during childbirth at a private medical college in Kozhikode protested outside the institution on Saturday. The baby succumbed at the private hospital on Thursday, and the mother, who developed numerous complications, died at another facility on Friday, according to police reports.
Calls for Justice and Action
A case of unnatural death has been registered after a complaint by the woman's husband. On Saturday, family members and local residents gathered outside the private medical college, placing demands for action against the responsible doctors, invoking stringent legal measures. The protest escalated, leading to police deployment to mitigate any potential disturbances.
After discussions between protesters and hospital administration, the protest was called off. The husband alleged that despite constant pleas from his wife for a transfer to another hospital during her painful delivery, the staff consistently assured them of a normal procedure.
