According to latest report, four infants died at the BMC-run Savitribai Phule maternity hospital in Bhandup in the last three days allegedly due to septic shock.
Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis exposed the lapses in the functioning of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the run Savitribai Phule Maternity Hospital. He further said the administration did not pay proper attention to the proper functioning of the NICU and due steps have been taken.
Oppositions claimed that the hospital administration, which had informed the parents that the children died due to some infection, was not able to find out the exact cause of the infection.
Fadnavis also alleged that despite deposits of INR 50,000 crores and health infrastructure such incidents are happening in BMC-run hospitals in the city. He further demanded suspension of the concerned officer.
After the incident came to light, Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde announced the suspension of the medical officer and has ordered a high-level inquiry into the matter in the wake of criticism faced by the Opposition. He also admitted that the situation is quite serious.
