Times magazineTen women die in botched Indian government sterilization surgery (Nov. 11)
Ten women were killed and 14 seriously injured after botched sterilization surgery at an Indian government sterilization camp, according to Indian government officials.
The cause of death is unknown and officials are investigating the possibility of contaminated surgical equipment.
In 2013-2014, over four million sterilizations were preformed, according to the Indian government.
