Doctors in Kolkata have successfully treated a 32-year-old female patient from Howrah, in her fourth pregnancy at over 35 weeks with a history of three uncomplicated previous deliveries, with an emergency C-section.

She was brought to Manipal Hospital in Salt Lake and admitted under the care of Dr Nandini Chakrabarti, consultant Obstetrician, with an acute and severe onset of dyspnea (sudden and severe shortness of breath). Though she had been on regular follow-up at a government hospital, her critical condition required immediate advanced intervention.
