Maharashtra: After Nanded, 8 die in govt hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Maharashtra, October 3: Only 24 hours after the Nanded tragedy, at least 8 more patients, including two infants, died in a government hospital in Ghati, Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinaghar (ex-Aurangabad) district, triggering a new political uproar.
There are five male casualties, and the causes of their deaths in such a short period of time remain unknown.
Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar termed the incident as "a black blot" on the state government's health system.
"Not even a day passed since the unfortunate incident of deaths of 24 patients, including 12 newborns within 24 hours in the government hospital in Nanded, same time deaths of 8 patients including 2 newborns in Ghati Hospital in Aurangabad has cast a black blot on the government health system," Pawar said.
Earlier, seven more patients, four of whom were children, tragically lost their lives at a government hospital in Maharashtra's Nanded late last night. This harrowing development comes on the heels of a shocking headline that emerged just a day earlier, when 24 patients succumbed to various ailments within a span of 24 hours.
The death toll at the Government Medical College and Hospital has now surged to a staggering 31 casualties within a mere 48 hours, with a particularly distressing statistic: 16 of these unfortunate victims were infants or children.
