Introduction

The government of Rajasthan is punishing staff at a hospital in Kota. Two women died and other patients got very sick after surgery.

Main Body

On May 4, many women had surgery to have babies. Soon, six women became very sick. Two women, Payal and Jyoti, died. Some families say the hospital sent sick patients to private clinics instead of helping them. The government stopped some workers from working. One doctor and two nurses are suspended. Another doctor lost her job. The government says the doctors did not follow the rules. Now, all hospitals in the state must clean their tools better. They must watch patients more closely. The leaders of the hospitals will get in trouble if this happens again.

Conclusion

The government is still checking the facts. Some patients are still very sick. All public hospitals must now follow stricter rules.
