Guangzhou Medical College's Third Affiliated Hospital faced a claim for compensation after leaving gauze inside a woman who had just given birth.

Ms. Mao gave birth to a boy at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College on November 8, 2010. Her delivery was very smooth. However, during her hospital stay after childbirth, she felt that her recovery was very poor, with lower back pain, poor sleep quality at night, and swelling pain in the lower body.
