Advertisement
Nashik: In yet another tragic incident, at least 55 infants died last month in a Nashik district hospital due to lack of ventilators and oxygen cylinders.
"In the month of August we have had 55 deaths, the main reason is that we have no ventilators. We got sanction for 21 beds, new maternal wing, but the problem is that we need to cut a tree and have not got permission till now," Dr. G M Hole told ANI.
In August, around 350 kids have admitted in the hospital and out of those 55 kids lost their life due to the deficiency of oxygen gas, ventilator, and other health facilities.
In last five months, around 187 kids have lost their life due to lack of health facilities.
Following the Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur incident that took lives of more than 70 children at BRD Medical College, at least 49 children have also died in Farrukhabad in last one month.
