HYDERABAD: Following the death of four women at Hyderabad's premier children's hospital, the Niloufer hospital, after delivering babies, in the past one month, the hospital authorities on Monday formed a three-member committee to look into the reasons for the death of the women.
The hospital authorities have also shut down the Operation Theatres citing ‘periodic sanitation work'. However, according to sources, the authorities shut it down in a bid avoid surgeries until the committee files the report.
Stating that the reasons for the deaths have to be found out, Telangana State director of Medical Education Dr M Ramani said the women were high risk patients.
The babies of the deceased women are alive and are said to be in good health.
Niloufer hospital superintendent Suresh Kumar said the heads of Anasthesia and Gynecology department from Osmania General Hospital were appointed to find out the reasons for the deaths.
The committee is expected to table their report by Monday evening. It is learnt that cesarean operations have been halted at the hospital and only natural deliveries are being taken up.
