Declared dead a day earlier, newborn dies


A newborn barely a day old at Safdarjung Hospital died. The child's mother was only 24 weeks pregnant. According to the hospital authorities it was a case of abortion because technically a child born before 24 weeks of pregnancy and weight less than 500 grams cannot survive. So they declared him dead earlier although he was still breathing

Now my view----

That newborn could be alive if proper treatment would have been given to him. A day before his death hospital authorities handed over the child in a polythene to his father and insisted him to bury him . How disgusting is that?

If the patient comes to the hospital, he comes with some hopes and expectations . They cannot escape from  the huge mistake they have done simply by saying that the child wouldn't have survived so we declared him dead. I mean didn't your heart cry out loud ?? How can you declare a living person as dead.

Ok Emotions one side---

Strict actions should be taken against the doctor's negligence. Baby's mother who is still aligning with pain due to her ill health and the loss of the baby, should be given proper treatment w/o any cost. Compensation amount should also be given to the father who is a daily wager. In addition to this a written apology from the doctor should be given and his licence to practice medical should be revoked so that in future such instances can be avoided!

Justice Done!
