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 specific actions can be taken to improve access to specialized maternal care for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies in Greece?
## Tragedy in Greece: Another Maternal Death Sparks Concerns
**Interviewer:** Joining me today is Dr. [Name], a leading maternal health advocate and researcher. Dr. [Name], a
pregnant woman from Rhodes tragically passed away within 24 hours of being discharged from a private hospital in Athens. What are your immediate thoughts on this heartbreaking situation?
**Dr. [Name]:** This is a truly devastating case, and my heart goes out to the family of the deceased woman and her newborn baby fighting for survival. While we don’t know all the details surrounding this specific case, it highlights a serious concern about maternal mortality and the complexities of pregnancy care.
**Interviewer:** Reports say this woman had a difficult pregnancy and was seeking specialized care in Athens. Does this raise concerns about access to quality maternal healthcare?
**Dr. [Name]:** Absolutely. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive and accessible maternal healthcare, especially for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies. We need to examine if there were any systemic failures that contributed to this tragedy, including potential gaps in communication, resources, or timely intervention.
**Interviewer:** Interestingly, the World Bank’s Gender Data Portal reports that Greece’s maternal mortality ratio has remained stagnant for the past 20 years, hovering around 8deaths per 100,000 live births. [1](https://genderdata.worldbank.org/en/economies/greece) Should we be concerned by this stagnation?
**Dr. [Name]:**
While Greece’s maternal mortality rate is similar to the regional average, any stagnation in progress is concerning. Maternal mortality is a complex issue with multiple contributing factors, and it requires ongoing effort to reduce these numbers. This tragedy should serve as a wake-up call for a thorough review of maternal healthcare practices and policies in Greece.
**Interviewer:** What needs to be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future?
**Dr. [Name]:** We need a multi-faceted approach. This includes improving access to quality prenatal care for all women, especially those with high-risk pregnancies, ensuring clear communication and continuity of care between healthcare providers, and investing in research to better understand and address the underlying causes of maternal mortality. We also need to empower women to be active participants in their own healthcare decisions.
**Interviewer**: Dr. [Name], thank you for sharing your expertise and insights on this critical issue.
This interview serves as a starting point for a larger conversation about maternal mortality and the need for continued improvement in maternal healthcare.
