Maharashtra: 24 Patients Die In Hospital In 24 Hours Including 12 Newborns

The hospital dean accused the hospital staff for the death of 24 patients in hospital in a single day including 12 newborn and 12 adults in Nanded, Maharashtra due to shortage of medicines.

The dean of Nanded’s Shankarrao Chavan Government Hospital said that 12 people died of “various ailments, mostly snake bites” out of the 24 deaths that occurred in the past 24 hours.

“Six males and six female babies died in the last 24 hours. Twelve adults also died due to various ailments, mostly snake bites. We faced some difficulty since various staff were being transferred,” he said.

“We are a tertiary-level care centre and the only such place in the 70 to 80-km radius. So, patients come to us from far-off places. On some days, the number of patients increases and it creates a problem for the budget,” he said.

“There is an institute Haffkine. We are supposed to buy medicines from them but that also didn’t happen. But we did buy medicines locally and provided them to the patients,” the dean added.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde described the fatalities as “unfortunate” and assured to probe the matter and take action accordingly.

The Eknath Shinde administration in Maharashtra came under a full-scale attack from the opposition, who claimed that the “triple-engine sarkar” (composed of the BJP, Eknath Shinde Sena, and the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP) should take the responsibility of the mishappening.
