Ahmedabad,
\nThe death of nine newborn in a day at the government civil hospital in Ahmedabad, considered to be the largest in Asia, has forced the Gujarat Government to sit up and appoint a three-member committee to look into the matter.<\/p>\n
CM Vijay Rupani rushed to the hospital to check the facilities and medicines available and see if deaths were caused due to negligence or mismanagement of the hospital. He announced the appointment of the committee to be headed by the deputy director of medical education.<\/p>\n
He said he had found that there was no shortage of dAoctors or medicines in the hospital but the government would not hesitate from taking stern action against anyone if found guilty of negligence by the three-member committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a very sad incident and we have already appointed a panel to look into the reasons. We will immediately initiate steps to overcome any negligence or lacunae found by the panel,\u201d Rupani said. \u201cHowever, prima facie, it appears that the case is not about lack of availability of medicines or medical facilities,\u201d he said.Though five of the nine newborn were born elsewhere but referred to the Ahmedabad hospital from distant places in bad condition, the authorities fearing Uttar Pradesh-type situation had arranged for heavy police deployment in the hospital last night as the news about deaths went viral on the social media, particularly because the state Assembly elections were just 40 days away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
