Woman dead, four critical post-delivery at Bengal hospital
A woman died and four others were critical after the delivery of babies at a state-run hospital in West Bengal’s Paschim Medinipur district allegedly due to the administration of expired intravenous fluid, prompting the health department to order an investigation, officials said on Saturday.
