Weak and complicated law forces Nepal’s medical negligence victims to rely on the mob for ‘justice’

Twenty-four-year-old Anisha MC Thapa gave birth to her second child on February 25, 2021, at Pyuthan District Hospital. To ensure the safety of the mother and the child, the doctors performed a c-section on Thapa.

Initially, things were going good. But, soon Thapa started to show symptoms of internal bleeding. To curb that, doctors performed another surgery on her on February 27. But, the bleeding did not stop. As Pyuthan Hospital did not have a ventilator, it referred the case to a hospital in Butwal. But, as she was being taken to Butwal, she died.
