Shocking is the news of the death of a 35-year-old pregnant woman from Rhodes, who died within 24 hours after the doctors of a private hospital in Athens discharged her and told her to wait before entering the hospital again. At the same time, her baby is fighting for his life in the ICU.
According to rodiaki.gr, the 35-year-old Irini – Despina Dimitraki – Aroni was 7 months pregnant. Her relatives report that she had a difficult pregnancy. That is why he decided to go to a private hospital in Athens, to be monitored by doctors.
The woman planned to have a religious wedding with Vassilis Aronis last September. But the wedding was postponed, because she herself should not suffer and be tired. The couple married on October 31 in a civil ceremony inside the hospital, while planning the religious wedding for after the birth of their child.
According to rodiaki.gr, the doctors of the hospital discharged the 35-year-old on November 6. However, they asked her to stay in Athens and go for a check-up in the morning and afternoon, which was done.
However, on Sunday night, while the whole family was in the house they had rented near the Hospital, the woman suffered a stroke, according to the first indications. An ambulance from EKAV and the private hospital in Athens was immediately called, and they arrived almost at the same time. Also, a doctor from the hospital that was very close by, went and proceeded with resuscitation procedures. Unfortunately it was too late.
Immediately the woman was taken to the hospital where her baby was taken away from her, who is being treated in the intensive care unit.
Her funeral will take place on Friday, November 15 in Rhodes.

## Interview with Dr. Ann Miller on Maternal Mortality
**Intro:**
Tragedy has struck a family in Greece as a 35-year-old pregnant woman passed away just 24 hours after being discharged from a private hospital in Athens. Her baby is currently fighting for his life in the ICU. This event highlights the very real and often under-reported issue of maternal mortality. To help us understand the complexities surrounding this situation, we’re joined by Dr. Ann Miller, an expert in maternal health and medical malpractice law.
**Interviewer:** Dr. Miller, thank you for joining us today. This case raises many questions. Can you shed some light on the potential legal implications surrounding the woman’s discharge from the hospital?
**Dr. Miller:** Certainly. While I don’t have all the details of this specific case, it appears there may be grounds for investigating medical malpractice.

If the woman’s medical records indicate negligence on the part of the hospital staff, a wrongful death lawsuit could be filed on behalf of the family.
**Interviewer:** This case also underscores the rising concern of maternal mortality rates. Can you give us some context?
**Dr. Miller:** Sadly, maternal mortality rates are a serious public health issue.
[1](https://www.americanbar.org/groups/health_law/resources/esource/2023-november/maternal-wrongful-death-federal-state-standards/) cites a maternal mortality rate of 23.8 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2020 in the United States. This is a concerning trend that requires attention and action. While I don’t have access to Greek statistics, it’s clear that maternal health requires global vigilance.
**Interviewer:** What steps can be taken to prevent tragedies like this?
**Dr. Miller:** Several measures can be taken to improve maternal health outcomes. These include ensuring access to quality prenatal care, promoting home visits by nurses or midwives, and providing comprehensive postpartum support. Additionally, addressing systemic issues like implicit bias in healthcare delivery and disparities in access to care can make a significant difference.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Miller, for your insights on this important issue.
**Closing:**
This heartbreaking story serves as a stark reminder of the complexities of maternal health. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this woman’s death will hopefully bring some answers to her grieving family
