A 31-year-old woman who was undergoing treatment for an infection at Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Alappuzha after giving birth to a baby more than a month ago at the same hospital died on Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Shibina of Ambalappuzha. Tension prevailed at the MCH after relatives staged a protest alleging medical negligence.
Shibina was admitted to the MCH on March 21. She gave birth to a child on March 26. Her relatives said that she remained in the hospital, mostly in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), for the past month after developing the infection following the delivery.
