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.

## Tragic Loss Raises Questions About Pregnancy Care in Greece
**Interviewer:** We’re joined today by Dr. Sophia Dimitriou, a leading specialist in maternal health, to discuss the recent tragedy of a 35-year-old pregnant woman from Rhodes who passed away just days after being discharged from a private hospital in Athens. Dr. Dimitriou, this case has shocked the nation. What are your initial thoughts?
**Dr. Dimitriou:** This is a heartbreaking case, and my deepest condolences go out to the family. It’s crucial to remember that every maternal death is a tragedy that deserves thorough investigation. While we don’t have all the details of this specific case, it highlights the ongoing need to ensure the highest standards of care for pregnant women in Greece.

It’s not uncommon for women to seek specialized care in different regions, especially for high-risk pregnancies. However, access to quality maternal healthcare should be equitable across the country. This tragic incident raises questions about the availability of specialized maternal care services in all regions of Greece.

**Dr. Dimitriou:** While Greece has made significant progress in reducing maternal mortality, this case serves as a sobering reminder that we cannot become complacent. Every maternal death needs to be carefully examined to identify any systemic issues or areas for improvement in our healthcare system.
**Interviewer:** What steps can be taken to prevent such tragedies in the future?
**Dr. Dimitriou:** Ongoing investment in maternal health services, ensuring access to specialized care regardless of location, and robust systems for monitoring and investigating maternal deaths are crucial.
