Mangaluru: A woman died after she gave birth to a child in a private hospital on Sunday.
Geetha Gatty (32), from Bantwal was admitted to Somayaji hopsital in BC Road where she gave birth to a baby girl. But she soon developed heavy bleeding and the hospital authorities were unable to provide proper treatment. She was rushed to Lady Goshen Hospital, Mangaluru but was sent away as there was no place in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). She was later taken to Wenlock Hospital, where doctors tried their best to save her but failed.
The family alleged that the ambulance did not have arrangements to treat the bleeding as she was being brought from BC Road to Mangaluru.
Geetha is survived by her husband Sunil Gatty and three daughters.
