Seventeen Babies died in WB Govt Hospital

In India our present U.P.A. government is really very waste government. If is fully filled with fraud and corruptions. The funds are releasing on the name of the poor children, that money is going in the hands of govt. officers and political leaders. The children needs govt. support, but the govt. is habitured to corruption, then how the situation will change?

Before blaming the hospital, it would be better to analyze the whole matter with proper logic. All the hospitals in West Bengal, even those in Kolkata lack in the minimum infrastructure required to tackle emergency patients. All the hospitals are overcrowded to such an extent that one bed is shared by more than one patient, so there is every chance of cross-infection. Even the floors are occupied by patients. The doctors and other health staffs are over burdened by the rush of so many patients. In most of the cases, the patients are brought to the hospital at the last moment and on many occasions the doctors have nothing to do. If you analyze the socioeconomic conditions of the parents of such babies, you will find that most of them are so poor that the babies are mostly underweight which is a vital cause for the deaths of so many babies. So the basic problem lies mostly in the socioeconomic conditions of the families. If it can be raised to a higher level, such deaths will automatically decrease. Another important problem in health care system in West Bengal is that all the facilities that are available in this state is only found in Kolkata, the health care system in West Bengal other than Kolkata still now remains in a primitive stage. So I think all the hospitals at the district level should be well equipped so that the tendency to refer all patients to Kolkata can be minimized. One thing should be kept in mind that a lot of time is lost during transport of patients and this wastage of time is very vital for such acute patients who need immediate medical attention in a well equipped hospital. Unless we can remove the root such incidences will surely happen off and on.

Who cares about what. This is the world around us. As long as I am not losing anything, I don't care about others. Here this is one of the best example. Govt. will make an inquiry, there will be an expert enquirer, some minsters and politicians will interfere and few doctors will get suspension and slowly the chapter will close for ever. In fact (we) the common man doesn't know anything what is all happening around the hospitals and such places where govt. operates. If we look around the people who all are behind, they may be placed will and the allocated money and medicines are roll around with black market and not even 10% will reach to the needy. There is no proper administration and nothing works proper. It is all happening for a NEWS to the media and tomorrow, the real sufferer is only the common man, who always labeled as DONKEY. Thank-s

Hi surekharathi Yes I did read about this in one of the myLot news articles. I was sadden for the families and parents of the babies. They say they are investigating and I do hope they can get to the bottom as to why. It is way too many in such a short span. It appears that the proper care is not being used there. I do hope a thorough investigation can figure out the why so that in the future this does not continue to happen.

Kolkata is calcutta - yes traffic moves like a snail. If anybody has to catch a train he should leave the houe 3/4 hours earlier. If there strikes and bandhs for which Bengalis are known - nothing can be done. another state - Kerala also bandhs, trafffic held up are more.
