In Vemanpelli Mandal's Neelwai village, keerthi Laya was admitted to the hospital on august 25 after giving birth. But after having a C-section and leaving the hospital, she reported having a stomachache.
A cotton pad was found in the woman's abdomen when her relatives later took her to a hospital in Chennur for an X-ray. It was discovered that the medical staff at the government hospital in Macherial had neglected to take out the cotton pad that was being used to stop the bleeding. However, a little incision in her abdomen was used to subsequently remove the cotton pad. Later, keerthi was sent to the government hospital in mancherial for additional observation. Her condition is reportedly steady.
