RIMS, Imphal constitutes enquiry committee into death of woman after childbirth

Imphal, Oct 14 (UNI) The Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, has constituted a four-member Enquiry Committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a 25-year-old woman, Thokchom Ongbi Binaroi, following childbirth at the institute.

Media Cell, RIMS on Wednesday said in a statement expressed profound sorrow over the unfortunate demise and extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
The institute said a post-mortem examination was scheduled to be conducted on Wednesday to establish the cause of death. The Enquiry Committee is expected to submit its report within three working days, following which appropriate action will be taken based on its findings and in accordance with applicable rules and procedures.
RIMS stated that it was committed to ensuring an objective examination of the incident and giving due consideration to any concerns arising from it.
Meanwhile, the institute strongly condemned the damage to public property within its premises. While acknowledging the grief and anguish of the bereaved family, RIMS said vandalism and destruction of public property were unacceptable and could not be justified.
It cautioned that such incidents could disrupt essential healthcare services and adversely affect patients relying on the institute for timely medical attention.
The statement also noted that unforeseen complications during childbirth could sometimes result in tragic outcomes despite the best efforts of doctors and healthcare personnel. It stressed that the circumstances surrounding the incident should be assessed on the basis of the findings of the enquiry and post-mortem examination rather than speculation.
RIMS appealed to all concerned to maintain peace, exercise restraint and allow the established procedures to take their course.
