# Two more new mothers die at Bhilwara hospital, seven in July 2026-08-08T15:42:01+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Two new mothers died at Mahatma Gandhi Hospital in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, on Wednesday night, taking the number of maternal deaths at the district's largest government hospital to seven in July. Both women had normal deliveries and were not classified as high-risk, but succumbed to severe postpartum bleeding. The deaths follow a series of maternal health incidents across the state, including five deaths in Kota in May and two in Bikaner in June. In a separate case, 26-year-old Rachna from Alwar died after a 48-hour ordeal across four hospitals last month. The Times of India reports that despite improved maternal healthcare indicators, women in rural areas continue to face delays due to lack of nearby hospitals, specialist care, ambulance availability and transport connectivity. In Maharashtra, a woman died in June because an ambulance could not reach her village due to poor roads. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - thehansindia.com Tags: ambulance services, healthcare access, maternal mortality, Rajasthan, rural India Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/pregnant-woman-dies-after-being-shuttled-across-four-hospitals-in-rajasthan/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
