Previous incident
The death of babies due to alleged negligence in hospitals in Telangana is a regular phenomenon. In April this year, a newborn baby died due to alleged medical negligence at a government hospital in Telangana’s Mulugu district.
The incident led to protest by the aggrieved family. The protestors claimed that the mother identified as Rawli, arrived at the government hospital for delivery early in the morning. Initially, doctors suggested that a cesarean section (C-section) was necessary.
However, after some time, a natural delivery was attempted, which reportedly resulted in the newborn’s death during the process.
