Hello, I had a cesarean delivery in July 2018 and developed a stitch infection leading to abscess formation and a sinus in the wound. I am undergoing another surgery for the same in November 2018. Can I avail another one month of paid leave under Section 10 of the Maternity Benefit Act post my maternity leave?
