Abstract

A 27 year old female was admitted in Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni, in shock condition with history of full term normal delivery. The delivery was conducted in a private hospital, but due to postpartum hemorrhage the patient was shifted to PRH, Loni. The patient died immediately after admission and relatives of the patient filed a complaint against the private hospital which had conducted the delivery. Postmortem was conducted which showed bleeding from genitalia and uterus with 7cm circumference mass of retained placenta at posterolateral region. The clinical and autopsy findings revealed mismanagement after delivery leading to death of the patient, and the doctor who conducted the delivery was held responsible for the death.
