61 infants die in Indian hospital within a fortnight

Sixty-one infants have died at an Indian children’s hospital in a two week time span, sparking protests and forcing the state government to launch an investigation.

A criminal probe was under way into the conduct of three staff at the Shishu Bhawan, or Children’s Home, in the city of Cuttack, eastern Odisha state, health minister Atanu S. Nayak said on Wednesday. Five workers have been suspended.

Opposition parties, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), staged protests outside several government hospitals across Odisha, waving flags and shouting slogans against state government officials.

“Infants have died but the chief minister has yet to visit the hospital,” said Samir Mohanty, one of the BJP protesters.

“A preliminary inquiry found (the staff) had neglected their duty that contributed to the deaths,” state’s health minister Nayak said, without elaborating on the causes of death.

Doctors at the hospital blamed the deaths on overstretched facilities, not negligence.

Niranjan Mohanty, a senior official at the hospital, said it was overburdened, admitting up to 50 critically ill children and treating up to 500 outpatients daily.
