Terming it an unfortunate incident, the minister said that an inquiry has been ordered into how the children died. He said- I have asked the officials of Keonjhar district to find out the reasons behind the incident.
Mithun Nayak alleged that my younger brother's son was admitted to the hospital. He died due to the negligence of the doctors and nurses. The victim's family alleges that the child was admitted to the ICU and died due to the non-availability of oxygen on time. Doctors and nurses should always be available in case of emergency, but they were not present on Saturday night. Relatives say that the doctors did not visit the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU), where the critically ill children were being treated and due to this the children died.
