Two women get kidney complications after C-sections in Kota hospital
Two women have developed kidney complications after caesarean deliveries at New Medical College Hospital in Kota, Rajasthan, five months after 12 women suffered kidney failure at the same hospital in May 2026, five of whom died. Reshma, 40, of Chhawni, and Anita, 30, of Nimoda Hariji, underwent C-sections on Wednesday, 14 October, and developed urine-output problems the next morning. Reshma was moved to a private hospital ICU, Anita is in the NMCH super-speciality block ICU.
Hospital superintendent Dr Ashutosh Sharma said Anita's condition was stable, with urine output at 600 ml on Friday, 16 October, and that other women who had similar procedures around the same time were stable. Anita's husband Hansraj Bairwa alleged the family struggled for three hours to arrange single-donor platelets after being told the hospital's machine was faulty. The cause of the complications has not been established. Medical committees in Kota, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Delhi investigated the earlier cases but found no underlying cause.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Medical Dialogues and Times of India name the patients' ages (30 and 40, and 40 and 30 respectively) and quote family allegations about platelet shortages, while Yes Punjab and The Hans India use only first names and do not mention the family's account. The two latter outlets stress that no cause has been established and that a link to the May 2026 incident is premature, whereas Medical Dialogues and Times of India foreground the recurrence of kidney complications. The divergence lies in which details are considered newsworthy: quoting grievances versus cautioning against speculation. All four outlets agree that five months earlier 12 women suffered kidney failure and five died, and that the cause of the latest cases remains undetermined. The next step named by Times of India is that medical committees in Kota, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Delhi investigated the earlier cases but found no underlying cause.
