A 30-year-old Kampli taluk resident and a 25-year-old Ballari city woman died after giving birth. Relatives alleged that the deaths were due to BIMS doctors' negligence after a caesarean section.

In the last two months, 12 maternal deaths were reported in the BIMS and earlier, the deaths were due to use of banned IV for mothers. Now, again a panic situation is created in the BIMS.

On January 4, Rashmi Bhi and January 12, Mahadevi of Kampli taluk were admitted for delivery at the BIMS. In both the cases, C-section was done by BIMS doctors and during the hospital admission, two were not suffering from any major health issues, but they passed away.
