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.

What steps can healthcare providers and hospitals take to ensure mothers are properly prepared for discharge after childbirth?
I’d like to preface this by saying that this situation is tragic and underlines the serious issues surrounding maternal health. Let’s bring in Dr. Evelyn Pierce, an OBGYN and maternal health advocate, to discuss this.
**Interviewer:** Dr. Pierce, thank you for joining us. This story about Irini Dimitraki-Aroni, a 35-year-old who sadly passed away after being discharged from a private hospital in Athens, is heartbreaking. What are your initial thoughts?
**Dr. Pierce:** It’s truly devastating. While we don’t have all the details, this case highlights the vulnerabilities pregnant women face and the critical importance of attentive prenatal care. Every pregnancy is unique, and it’s vital that medical professionals consider the individual needs and risk factors of each patient.
**Interviewer:** What are some red flags that indicate a pregnant woman might need closer monitoring or might not be ready for discharge?
**Dr. Pierce:** Any woman reporting worrying symptoms, like severe pain, vaginal bleeding, or changes in fetal movement, should be taken seriously. A history of complications in previous pregnancies, pre-existing medical conditions, or a difficult pregnancy like Irini’s case, all warrant close attention.
**Interviewer:** What can be done to prevent such tragedies?
**Dr. Pierce:** Open communication between patients and healthcare providers is paramount. Women need to feel empowered to voice their concerns and ask questions. Hospitals should have clear protocols for discharge, ensuring women understand warning signs and have access to support and follow-up care.
**Interviewer:** Globally, maternal mortality rates remain a significant concern. [[1](https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/maternal-mortality-ratio/country-comparison/)]Can you speak to the broader context of this tragedy?
**Dr. Pierce:** Yes, this case is unfortunately not isolated. Access to quality maternal healthcare is a global issue. Factors like socioeconomic disparities, lack of access to healthcare infrastructure, and even cultural biases can contribute to preventable maternal deaths.
**Interviewer:** What message do you have for expecting mothers and their families?
**Dr. Pierce:** Remember, you are your own best advocate. Don’t hesitate to seek second opinions, ask questions, and express your concerns. It’s crucial to build a strong relationship with your healthcare providers and ensure you receive the best possible care throughout your pregnancy journey.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Pierce, for your insights on this crucial topic.
