The six women who underwent caesarean sections at PBM Hospital in Bikaner are now on dialysis, fighting kidney complications in the intensive care unit. Their families want answers. The hospital administration says it is waiting for a probe committee report to determine exactly what went wrong.
Dr. Surendra Verma, principal of Sardar Patel Medical College, stated that the exact cause of the complications can only be known after the committee submits its findings. For now, the focus is on treatment. “The priority is to ensure proper treatment and recovery of all patients,” he said.
Hospital Superintendent Dr. B.C. Ghiya confirmed that continuous monitoring is in place. Teams from nephrology, gynecology, and medicine departments are working together. Some patients required dialysis, which is being conducted regularly, he said. Professor of Nephrology Jitendra Falodiya added that the patients are under expert care and receiving necessary medical support.
The women are being closely monitored in the ICU. Their condition is constantly reviewed by the medical team. Relatives, however, are not satisfied. They allege the women appeared stable after delivery, then suddenly deteriorated. Reduced urine output and other complications set in later.
Lekhram, a relative of one patient, said the women were normal after delivery but later started facing issues. The relatives are demanding a fair inquiry. They want to know what caused the sudden decline and want steps taken to prevent it from happening again.
The complications surfaced after caesarean deliveries at PBM Hospital, a major government facility in Rajasthan’s Bikaner. The hospital has ordered a detailed medical investigation. The probe committee has not yet submitted its report. Until then, doctors are treating the women with dialysis and specialist care.
Kidney-related issues following surgery are serious. Dialysis indicates the kidneys are not filtering waste properly. The hospital has not said whether the complications stem from infection, medication, anesthesia, or another cause. The probe will look into that.
For the six women and their families, the waiting is hard. They saw their loved ones go through delivery, then watched them get worse. Now they sit in the ICU waiting area, hoping for recovery and demanding accountability.
The hospital insists it is taking all necessary measures. Patients are receiving the best possible treatment, Dr. Falodiya said. But the relatives want more than treatment. They want to know why this happened and who is responsible.
The case has drawn attention to post-surgical care in government hospitals. Bikaner is not a small town. PBM Hospital is attached to Sardar Patel Medical College. It handles many deliveries, including high-risk ones. Six women falling ill after C-sections raises questions about protocols and oversight.
The probe committee’s report will be key. It will determine whether the complications were due to a specific drug, a contaminated supply, a surgical error, or something else. Until then, the hospital is focused on keeping the women alive. Dialysis continues. Specialist teams rotate in and out of the ICU.
Families are watching closely. They want a thorough investigation, not just a formality. They want assurances that other women will not face the same ordeal. The hospital has not commented on whether procedures have been changed or suspended in the meantime.
The six women remain in the ICU. Their conditions are stable but serious. The medical team is doing what it can. The relatives are doing what they can — waiting, watching, and demanding answers.
