Kolkata: Underlining
yet again the poor health infrastructure in West Bengal's
government hospitals, six babies have died in a Malda district
hospital, officials said Thursday.
"Since yesterday (Wednesday) morning, six babies have died. All of
them were underweight. They were brought to the hospital in a very
critical condition," H. Ari, superintendent of Malda Sadar
Hospital, told IANS.
However, Ari admitted that the hospital lacks a neo-natal unit and
assured that a specialised infant unit will come up very soon in
the hospital.
Between Oct 25 and 28, 16 babies died at the B.C. Roy Children's
Hospital - the only children's referral hospital in Kolkata. The
Burdwan Medical College and Hospital reported 12 infant deaths Oct
27-28.
Earlier in June, 18 babies had died at the B.C. Roy Children's
Hospital.
Banerjee had then ordered a probe into the matter but later gave a
clean chit to the authorities.
