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.

How can healthcare providers in Greece better ensure continuity of care and prevent unnecessary discharges for women experiencing high-risk pregnancies?
## Interview with Dr. [Expert Name], Maternal Health Specialist
**Interviewer:** Dr. [Expert Name], thank you for joining us today. We’re facing a truly heartbreaking situation in Rhodes following the death of 35-year-old pregnant woman, Irini Dimitraki-Aroni. She passed away just 24 hours after being discharged from a private hospital in Athens, despite reportedly having a difficult pregnancy. Her baby is now fighting for his life. What are your initial thoughts on this tragedy?
**Dr. [Expert Name]:** This is a deeply saddening case, and my heart goes out to the family. While I don’t have all the specific details regarding Ms. Dimitraki-Aroni’s case, it raises serious concerns about maternal healthcare and the decision-making process surrounding her discharge.
According to the available information, she was experiencing a difficult pregnancy and sought care in Athens, which is understandable given the seriousness of her condition. Her discharge, followed by a sudden deterioration in her health, highlights the crucial need for thorough assessment and continuous monitoring during pregnancy, particularly in high-risk cases.
**Interviewer:** There seems to be a concerning lack of recent, comprehensive data on maternal mortality in Greece. A study published in 2011 [[1](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21788018/)]noted the absence of formal data since 1996. Does this inform your perspective on this case?
**Dr. [Expert Name]: ** Absolutely. It’s alarming that we lack updated and detailed information on maternal mortality rates in Greece. Without reliable data, it’s incredibly difficult to identify trends, understand the underlying causes of maternal deaths, and implement effective preventative measures. This lack of transparency hinders our ability to improve maternal healthcare and ensure the safety of mothers and babies.
**Interviewer:** What changes do you believe are necessary to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future?
**Dr. [Expert Name]:** Several steps are crucial. Firstly, we need to prioritize the collection and analysis of comprehensive data on maternal mortality and morbidity. This will allow us to gain a clearer understanding of the challenges we face and target interventions effectively. Secondly, we must ensure that all pregnant women, especially those with high-risk pregnancies, have access to quality prenatal and postnatal care, including thorough assessments, consistent monitoring, and timely intervention when necessary.
Lastly, open communication and a culture of transparency between healthcare providers and patients are paramount. Patients should feel empowered to ask questions, express concerns, and advocate for their health and the health of their babies.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, Doctor. We hope this tragedy will serve as a wake-up call for improved maternal healthcare practices in Greece.
