A woman from Palghar in Maharashtra died with her foetus in an ambulance on way to Silvassa allegedly after she failed to get timely treatment at a state-run hospital in the tribal-dominated district, about 115 km away from Mumbai, prompting authorities to order a probe, an official said on Monday.

Palghar Zilla Parishad president Prakash Nikam on Monday visited the rural hospital in Manor accompanied by some members of the ZP, an official release said.
