GANDHI & THE TRUTH!!!
50 INFANTS, 14 MOTHERS
There is a lot of discussion about Infant deaths & maternal deaths ever since a social media handle shared a detailed document.
According to the document shared by the handle, 50 infants and 14 mother died at Gandhi hospital in just August.
Well, the govt says it is mudslinging and it always happened. Nothing new. The govt’s explanation - at tertiary hospital like Gandhi, only critical cases come, which makes the mortality rate high.
But according to some news reports a lot of experienced doctors have been transferred. 5 senior professors were transferred but only 3 were appointed. Secondly, review on the deaths aren’t happening like before.
Govt shared some data, and there is also counter data available.
Everyone is putting out their own version.
But, I agree with one version- medical care facilities are grossly neglected.
Do we need more Gandhi statues or better hospitals?! Am sure the money & effort that were spent on building a newer statue at a lightening speed, could have been used for a bettering the facilities at Gandhi?!
Is there a committee that has been constituted so far by the government? I am curious to know.
May be there will always be lives that cannot be saved. But if there is even a ONE percent chance of saving ONE CHILD’s life- shouldn’t the govt explore the option?
PS: I heard so many review meetings are happening at Gandhi Hospital since yesterday and their focus is on finding out how the data leaked. Not how the deaths happened!
