Nayyab Tariq and Ayaz Ul Hassan. Ms Tariq died four hours after giving birth at Mayo University Hospital.

The husband of a woman who died after giving birth in Mayo has called for change in how women of colour are treated in maternity services here and in Europe.

Ayaz Ul Hassan’s wife Nayyab Tariq, 28, died on March 22, 2020, at Mayo University Hospital, having given birth four hours earlier. An inquest last year recorded a verdict of medical misadventure.
