A woman allegedly died following childbirth at the Laxmipur Community Health Centre (CHC) in Koraput district on Tuesday, triggering allegations of medical negligence by her family.

The deceased has been identified as Kanan Mandal, wife of Prabhanjan Mohanty. According to sources, Kanan was initially admitted to a private clinic in Rayagada after she experienced labour pain. She delivered a baby girl at the clinic.

Condition Deteriorated After Delivery

Family members alleged that her health deteriorated shortly after childbirth. They claimed that the attending doctor at the private clinic shifted her to Laxmipur in Koraput district without informing her husband, who was in Nayagarh at the time and had not yet reached Rayagada.

Before Prabhanjan could arrive, the clinic doctor, identified as Nabakishore Kundu, reportedly referred and admitted Kanan to Laxmipur CHC for further treatment. She later died at the health centre.

Allegations and Response

The bereaved family has questioned the decision to shift Kanan to Laxmipur instead of referring her to a higher medical facility in Berhampur or Visakhapatnam for advanced medical care. They have alleged that medical negligence led to her death.

However, the doctor concerned has denied the allegations, stating that there was no negligence in the treatment provided.
