A major case of negligence has come to light at Lok Nayak Jayaprakash (LNJP) Hospital in Delhi. Due to the negligence of the doctors, a newborn girl remained locked in a box for about two and a half hours.
Actually, a woman was delivered to the hospital on Sunday. The woman had given birth to a baby girl, who was declared dead by the doctors, then packed in a box and handed over to the relatives. When the relatives came home and opened the box, the child was alive.
After this, the family again reached the hospital with the baby girl and informed the doctors about the movements of the newborn, but the doctors refused to even see the baby. After this, the relatives created a ruckus by accusing the doctors of negligence.
However, after the intervention of police officials, the hospital re-admitted the girl. At present, he is fine and under the supervision of doctors.
The relatives have accused the doctors of trying to kill the girl child. The family members said – First of all, the hospital declared the girl died due to negligence. After this, he was locked in the box. Due to the negligence of the doctors, the girl remained locked in the compartment for about two and a half hours. This could have suffocated him. The child could have died.
LNJP Hospital MD Suresh Kumar told that a pre-term delivery took place on Sunday. Then there was no movement in the baby girl. Later, information about his movement was received. At present, he is kept on ventilator support. A team of expert doctors is monitoring him.
An inquiry has been ordered into the matter, a detailed report will be received in 24 hours. No complaint has been registered with the police so far.
The video of this incident is going viral on social media. In which it can be seen that the child is locked in a box. Which is sealed by applying the tape. When the family members open the box and see, the baby girl is seen moving her arms and legs. Seeing this it seems that he is completely healthy.
When the Central DCP got information about the matter, he spoke to the hospital administration. After the entry of the police in the case, the hospital kept the girl under the supervision of doctors.
