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, which 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.
The woman was immediately taken to the hospital where her baby was taken from her, who is being treated in the intensive care unit.
Her funeral will take place on Friday, November 15 in Rhodes.

## Interview with Dr. Elena Papadopoulos on Maternal Mortality
**Host:** Dr. Papadopoulos, thank you for joining us today to discuss the heartbreaking case of Irini Dimitraki-Aroni, the 35-year-old pregnant woman who tragically passed away after being discharged from a private hospital in Athens.
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** It’s a deeply saddening case, and my thoughts go out to the family. This incident highlights a critical issue regarding maternal mortality, which, despite global efforts, remains a concern.
**Host:** Irini was seven months pregnant and reportedly experiencing a difficult pregnancy. Can you shed some light on why pregnant women with complex pregnancies might require more frequent monitoring and specialized care?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Absolutely. Pregnant women, especially those experiencing complications, need close monitoring to ensure both their health and the well-being of their unborn child. Constant vigilance allows doctors to detect potential issues early and intervene promptly, minimizing risks.
**Host:** In Irini’s case, she was discharged from the hospital but asked to return for regular check-ups. What are your thoughts on the decision to discharge a pregnant woman with a complicated pregnancy?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** It’s difficult to comment on this specific case without access to her medical records. However, decisions regarding discharge are complex and involve weighing various factors like the severity of the condition, the mother’s overall health, and the availability of support systems.
**Host:** According to the World Health Organization[[1](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(16)31470-2/fulltext)], Greece recorded a maternal mortality rate of 9.7 per 100,000 live births in 2015. While this is lower than many other countries, how do you think we can work towards further reducing these numbers?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Every maternal death is a tragedy. We need a multi-pronged approach that focuses on preventing complications, providing accessible and high-quality prenatal care, and addressing social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic inequalities.
**Host:** This recent event has sparked a conversation about the quality of healthcare for pregnant women in Greece. What steps can be taken to ensure that pregnant women feel safe and confident in the care they receive?
**Dr. Papadopoulos:** Building trust and transparency is crucial. This involves clear communication between healthcare providers and patients, readily accessible information about options and risks, and robust mechanisms for addressing complaints and concerns.
**Host:** Dr. Papadopoulos, thank you for sharing your expertise and insights on this deeply important issue. We hope that Irini’s story will ignite further discussion and action towards improving maternal health in Greece.
