Newborns Are Dying To Due Lack Of Ventilators In Government Hospital


Nirmal Singh 3C condemns the growing cases of infants dying in the hospitals in India citing an example from the news reported lately from Sanjay Gandhi hospital to Baba Saheb Ambedkar hospital where there were not sufficient ventilators.
This was not it, another death case was seen on Wednesday at one of the Delhi government hospital to another as there were less beds attached to ventilators.

Nirmal Singh 3C further criticized the intensity of the incident as all happened in presence of the chief minister who has directed the health department on Sunday to take the action urgently and immediately implement a plan to ensure that at least the critical patients would get life support system.

Nirmal Singh 3C is upset to inform about the cases where the newborn babies died waiting for the ventilators to support them. In fact, of the newborn infant died waiting for a ventilator in three government hospitals.

Another instance is making noise, where a 27 year old man, Manoj Pooran, had to rush his newly born baby to a Delhi-government run Sanjay Gandhi hospital around 10 because the baby have had developed breathing problems.  “My wife was getting regular check-ups from the hospital but her labour was delayed for three days. On Wednesday morning, she started having very bad pain so we called a dai (nurse) who lives nearby. The delivery was fine, but his breath was shallow. So, the dai asked us to take the baby to the hospital immediately,” said Manoj.

During those weak moments the doctors step forward to check the child and asked Manoj to rush to Baba Saheb Ambedkar hospital because ventilators were installed in and there were no ventilator at Sanjay Gandhi hospital.

Nirmal Singh 3C would further like to quote Manoj, who said: “I took an e-rickshaw to the hospital, but there was a huge traffic jam and it took us nearly an hour to reach the other hospital. The doctor there said that my baby was brought dead. Couldn’t the doctors at Sanjay Gandhi have done something? I was told that he could have survived even if they gave us that balloon like thing.” This was said in context to ambu-bag as it is used to ventilate critical patients in the absence of the same.

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four.

This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole
