Ratlam (MP): A four-year-old girl was taken to the Ratlam government hospital, 20 km from her village, on a motorbike as her parents, allegedly, could not find an ambulance at the nearby community health centre.
The girl, suffering from pneumonia, died soon after arrival at the hospital on Tuesday night, prompting the district administration to order an inquiry into the incident.
Ghanshyam Nath, resident of Nandleta in Sailana tehsil, told reporters today that his daughter, Jeeja, was admitted to the Sailana Community Health Centre on Monday with high fever. The doctors there asked him to take her to the district hospital.
