Anchor - A case has been revealed highlighting all the claims and reality of the Health Department in Pandajhir village of Batiangarh block, located just four km from the headquarters of Hata Civil Hospital in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh, during the sixteenth delivery of the woman and her Newborn died, while giving birth to the sixteenth child at the age of 47, this news of the death of a woman, seeing and hearing will blow your senses, see the report--

Both the mother and the child died, the doctors declared both dead in the hospital, then the body of the family woman was brought to the village and cremated.

Intro 2-

But the question here is not only about the death of the child, but the most shocking truth was that this was the sixteenth delivery of the deceased Sukhrani Ahirwar at the age of 47, ie before this woman gave birth to fifteen more children, in whom Eight children died intermittently,

These include prenatal and postnatal children. The remaining eight children are still alive in the family.

The family of this woman coming from the Dalit class, currently has 6 children at home, while two daughters are also married.

Intro 3-

After the news of the death of the woman Sukhrani Ahirwar with her child during the sixteenth delivery, when the health department came into action, the nurse and supervisor posted here was suspended in a hurry

Health department officials have argued in the entire case that Matrak Sukharani was at Ahirwar High Risk and due to continuous delivery her condition deteriorated and the woman died due to lack of blood.

The names of the children of Dulla Ahirwar, a resident of Pandajhir village, are also recorded in the school and Anganwadi records, which have been confirmed by the employees of this place itself, despite this, after such a long interval, the responsible officials did not contact this Dalit family and took any measures for population control. And the woman lost her life on the sixteenth delivery

Intro 4--

Even if a Dalit woman dies including a child, all the arguments of the Health Department are to be accepted but the big question is that the Health Department is responsible for giving birth to 16 children one after the other in the long term of about 20 years. Why did the officials not consider it appropriate to meet this family and get the prohibition done, why not tell the woman and her family about family planning measures, from Batiagarh to Hata and the top officials sitting in Damoh district headquarters were unaware of the data, while the incident Later, information about this woman and family has been sent to the department from time to time by the employees of the lower class who came in the process. Seeing the death of Dalit woman during delivery, the district collector, all the health department officials are talking about suspending the lower level employees, but the woman is ruled till the sixteenth delivery one after the other. Failure to do family planning at the level exposed a major negligence of the department, which had to pay the life of a Dalit woman to life, the rest of the woman's family is now facing the rule of life for living.
