The father of a 4-year-old girl who died earlier this year after an alleged sexual assault has said she could have survived if hospitals had not failed in their “basic duty to save lives.” Speaking to TOI on Wednesday, the Ghaziabad resident said his trust in the system was deeply shaken after two private hospitals allegedly refused to treat his critically injured daughter.
His petition was heard by the Supreme Court on June 16. He claimed that Khajan Singh Manvi Health Care and St Joseph’s Hospital both declined to provide immediate treatment despite seeing the child bleeding and unconscious in his arms.
