Video shows Bihar Ayurvedic practitioner performing C-section without safety protocols, sparks outrage: ‘Absolutely shocking'
A shocking video of an Ayurvedic practitioner allegedly performing a caesarean section under unhygienic and unsafe conditions is raising eyebrows on social media. According to the viral post, the incident occurred in Bihar's Siwan and the 'doctor' in question has been identified as Kanchan Kumari. The clip, shot by Kumari's relative, shows the procedure being conducted in what appears to be a makeshift operating room, lacking even the most basic safety measures. The video further highlights Kumari performing the surgery without wearing a surgical mask, gloves, or cap. Sharing the video, an X handle 'THE SKIN DOCTOR' condemned the incident. 'A 'gynaecologist' who can't even spell the word correctly is performing a C-section in what looks like a storage room, with zero infection control,' the caption read. 'Her family member is casually filming a reel while the surgery is underway. She is not wearing a mask and surgical cap. The room is crowded with people in regular clothes, including the patient's relatives, who are standing around and watching the procedure like it's a live show, without scrubs, masks, or gloves. Probably no anaesthetist either,' the post said. Revealing the identity of the practitioner, the post wrote, 'She is Kanchan Kumari from Siwan, an Ayurvedic practitioner. Given how frequently the govt changes healthcare policies, I'm not sure whether she's qualified or trained to perform this procedure, but judging by her methods, she is certainly liable for criminal negligence.' Along with the video, the handle also attached a screenshot of Kumari's Instagram handle and bio which read, 'gynecologist and obstetrics.' In the viral video, a man can be heard saying in Hindi, 'She is my aunt Kanchan Kumari and is performing a C-section. The mothers necessarily give birth to boys when she performs the procedure.' There is no evidence of sterilised equipment, while the patient's relatives stood around the operating table in casual clothes, some even filming the procedure. couldn't verify the credibility of the video. See here: A gynecologist, who can't even spell the word 'gynecologist' correctly, is performing a C-section in what appears to be a storage room, with zero regard for universal safety protocols or infection control.

Nepal's First Breast Milk Bank Helps Newborn Babies Survive
Nepal's first-ever Human Milk Bank, 'Amrit Kosh,' is a step towards providing baby-friendly health care to low birthweight, premature, and other at-risk newborns. It helps infants with access to breastmilk at the most critical times. The initiative in Kathmandu, funded by UNICEF, the government of Nepal, and other partners, provides hundreds of babies with the nutrition they require to survive and develop. Funding cuts, however, have put plans to grow the services and help more babies in need on hold. Over 15 million premature babies are born each year worldwide. Nepal and other lower-middle-income nations are estimated to have 81,000 premature births annually. Premature babies or those with low birth weight are considerably more at risk of dying during the first month of life. Sarita Khatri Tamang, a new mother, has been unable to breastfeed while she recovers following a C-section delivery in the Paropakar Maternity and Women's Hospital's Kangaroo Mother Care unit in Kathmandu. Her infant, however, is not left behind because she can get breast milk from other mothers through the hospital's Amrit Kosh. Sushila Nagarkoti is one of the mothers who have contributed to the Kathmandu Milk Bank, Forbes reported. The milk bank is a component of an integrated lactation management centre that the Nepal government founded in 2022 with support from UNICEF and the European Union. The facility ensures that critically unwell neonates, many of whom were born prematurely, receive the right nutrition. The next best thing to a mother's own milk is donated breast milk, which supports about 500 newborns each month. "Human breast milk is the best source of nutrition and guarantees a baby's survival and healthy development," said Dr Bibek Kumar Lal, Director of the Ministry of Health and Population's Family Welfare Division. According to Dr Lal, breast milk supports brain development and benefits both the mother and the child for the rest of their lives. However, plans to establish or expand similar lactation management units in hospitals throughout Nepal have hit a roadblock due to recent financial shortages, impacting UNICEF's capacity to support these projects. Such constraints have also affected other important UNICEF-supported programs, such as counselling and breastfeeding support. Breastfeeding is the healthiest nourishment for babies, particularly during the first six months of life. It is also essential in preventing infections and malnourishment in newborns who are at risk. Exclusive breastfeeding could avert 13 per cent of the annual deaths of children under five globally. In addition to nursing exclusively, early breastfeeding initiation during the first hour of life can reduce the number of newborn fatalities globally by 22 per cent.
