Renu Vishwakarma, who delivered her second daughter last month, hasn't yet held her baby even once. Reason: Doctors from the Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation hospital who conducted a Caesarean section surgery on her, left a mop inside her stomach. This caused her a severe stomach infection and she was immediately admitted into Nair hospital's ICU where she is still undergoing treatment.
On October 28, after Renu developed labour pain, she was rushed to a Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation hospital in Vijay Nagar, Nalasopara. Owing to some medical complications, the doctors performed a C-section on her immediately but accidentally left a surgical mop, the size of a normal handkerchief, in her stomach. Within hours, she turned blue owing to infections and was referred to a tertiary-level hospital. On October 30, the 30-year-old was transferred to Nair hospital where she was admitted into the ICU.
