Overview <\/strong><\/p>\n

After an Indian pregnant woman died, Marta Temido, the minister of health in Portugal, resigned. An investigation has been opened by the authorities into the death of an Indian woman, 34.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The tragic death of a pregnant Indian woman in Portugal while she was transferred between crisis-stricken hospitals has resulted in Marta Temido’s resignation as the nation’s health minister, and investigators have begun looking into the matter. According to reports, the 34-year-old Indian woman had a cardiac arrest while being transported by ambulance from Santa Maria hospital, which had no openings in the neonatology programme, to another hospital in the city.<\/p>\n

This event comes after a number of others this summer that critics attribute to a staffing shortage in Portuguese natal units. Ms. Temido, who served as Portugal’s health minister from 2018 until the present, is credited for guiding the country through the CovID -19 pandemic. However, the administration announced in a statement on August 30, 2022, that Ms. Temido “realised that she no longer possessed the criteria to remain in office.”<\/p>\n

Portugal’s Prime Minister Antonio Costa said the woman’s death was “the last straw” that led to Ms. Temido’s resignation.<\/p>\n

Due to a full neonatology unit at Lisbon’s Santa Maria Hospital, the largest hospital in Portugal, the pregnant traveller reportedly passed away while being transferred there.<\/p>\n

Her baby was delivered through emergency caesarean section in good health.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Similar cases have recently occurred throughout Portugal, the report stated, including the two child fatalities whose mothers had reportedly been transported between hospitals and faced lengthy delays. Portugal’s lack of medical professionals, particularly those with gynaecology and obstetrics training, has prompted the government to consider hiring from overseas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
