UN chief Ban Ki-Moon said that the death of 11 women in India due to sterilisation surgeries is ‘worrying’ and the government should take appropriate care to ensure such medical procedures are conducted in the safest and sanitary way possible.
United Nations secretary general Ban’s spokesperson Farhan Haq said the UN is aware of the reports of botched mass sterilisation surgeries in Chhattisgarh in which 11 women died and several others have been hospitalised and are in critical condition.
‘We’ve seen these worrying reports out of India. Wherever these medical practices occur in the world, we want to make sure that all the authorities take the appropriate care to make sure
that they are conducted in as safe and as sanitary a way as possible. That’s the basic ground point’, Haq told reporters.
