Tragic Newborn Death Sparks Inquiry at Jammu Hospital

A newborn tragically died at a government hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district, prompting the suspension of four nurses and an inquiry. The baby's relatives allege negligence was the cause.

A newborn tragically died at a government hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district, officials reported Saturday. Following accusations of medical negligence, the hospital swiftly suspended four junior staff nurses and initiated an in-depth inquiry.

The infant's mother, hailing from Pogal, was admitted to the district hospital on Thursday and delivered a healthy baby via caesarean on Friday. However, complications soon led to the infant being moved to the neonatal intensive care unit, where the baby sadly passed away.

Relatives and the infant's father have asserted that negligence by paramedical personnel led to the unfortunate death. In response, hospital management has formed a three-member doctor panel to investigate and demanded a report by Sunday.
