An unsettling video of Kanchan Kumari, an Ayurvedic doctor from Siwan, Bihar, conducting a Caesarean section under horribly dangerous circumstances has gone viral online
The video of Kanchan Kumari, which has gone viral on social media, shows the surgery being performed without following basic hygiene procedures in what looks to be a makeshift operating room.

Kanchan Kumari from Siwan, who call herself a gynecologist, is performing a C-section in what appears to be a storage room, with zero regard for universal safety protocols or infection control.

Surprisingly, Kanchan Kumari performs the treatment without a mask, surgical cap, or sterile equipment while the patient’s family members stand close by in ordinary clothing, some even recording the process on their phones.
After publishing the video, a member on X using the handle “THE SKIN DOCTOR” blasted the blatant disrespect for medical safety. He wrote, “A ‘gynaecologist’ who doesn’t even know how to spell the word is doing a C-section in what appears to be a storage room, with no infection control.”

There is probably no anaesthetist present, and the room is packed with untrained onlookers. He also called Kumari’s actions “criminally negligent” and asked whether she had the legal right to do such procedures at her Siwan clinic.
There have been many claims made regarding how common these kinds of activities are in Bihar. At least 40 so-called Ayurvedic doctors in Siwan and Gopalganj are illegally performing deliveries and C-sections, frequently in cooperation with ASHA employees, according to one user.
On Instagram, Kanchan Kumari identified herself as a “gynaecologist and obstetrician.” Since then, she has changed her profile image and made her account private.
Dr. Kanchan Kumari is located in Amlori, Siwan, near Behind Nauli. She calls herself a gynecologist and is seen performing a C-section in what appears to be a storage room, with zero regards to health safety and guidelines along with making a reel whilst performing the operation. She was seen without a mask and no surgical cap as well.
This is criminal negligence, not healthcare.

Woman gave birth on the side of the road in the Rudauli neighbourhood
In a startling instance of medical indifference, a pregnant woman who was having severe labour pains on Friday was turned away from a government hospital and had to give birth on the side of the road in the Rudauli neighbourhood of the Ayodhya district.
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak promised stern action, saying, “We are gathering full details and will ensure that all those found responsible face strict consequences.”
Raj Kumari, a resident of Bahras village, was reportedly taken to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Khairanpur, Rudauli, by her family. Despite the fact that the woman was in active labor, the on-call gynecologist, Dr. Anju Jaiswal, sent her to the district hospital on the grounds of anemia.
The 40-kilometer drive to Ayodhya District Hospital was started by the family in a private vehicle, but Raj Kumari’s condition deteriorated halfway through. She was forced to sit beneath a tree by the side of the road without any assistance from the authorities. A few women from the area jumped in and helped her give birth. According to reports, the mother and kid are both doing well.
