A 22-day-old baby died at Bhopal’s Hamidia hospital on Sunday, sources said.
The father of the deceased, Radheshyam told HT that his child was admitted in the special newborn care unit (SNCU) of Kamla Nehru Hospital from where he was taken to Hamidia hospital’s medicine ward for a test.
As per sources even infants in critical condition admitted in SNCU ward are removed from the life support system and taken to a 300-metre far medicine ward of Hamidia hospital.
The newly appointed superintendent at Hamidia hospital Dr Deepak Maravi remained unavailable to comment on the issue.
The superintendent of Hamidia hospital was removed on Saturday, a day after chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan visited the facility and two officers of the medical education department — additional chief secretary (medical education) Prabhanshu Kamal and Gandhi Medical College (GMC) dean Dr Ulka Shrivastava — were transferred.
