[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] A mother died after undergoing a cesarean section surgery at a hospital, prompting the police to launch an investigation.
According to the police on the 11th, mother A underwent a cesarean section at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, on April 26th. She did not regain consciousness and was transferred to a nearby hospital, but passed away on the 28th of the same month.
