SASARAM: A 3-day-old baby died in the special newborn care unit (SNCU) while the parents of at least three others shifted their kids from Sadar hospital here in Rohtas district on Wednesday morning due to defunct airconditioners (ACs) and fans in this hot and humid weather condition. The trauma centre of the same hospital was in news three days back for its doctors performing surgery on a person with gunshot injury in the flashlight of their cellphones.
Parents alleged that the child died as non of the 10 ACs or even ceiling fans was functioning. The parents were forced to shift their three newborn babies and leave against medical advice (LAMA) to private nursing homes on Wednesday. The hospital's SNCU in-charge, Dr Dilip Kumar, confirmed this. Civil surgeon in-charge Dr Ashok Kumar Singh said mechanics were summoned for repairing the ACs and fans.
