Residents of Gwalior were shocked when a video clip went viral on social media showing a man carrying a newborn baby with an oxygen pipe in its nose, and another person dragging an oxygen cylinder on the ground. This incident had taken place in the 1000-bed JH Hospital, the largest hospital in the region.
The baby and its mother had been admitted to the hospital and were being shifted to the Kamlaraja hospital, only two kilometers away for a check-up. However, the family members of the baby were not provided with an ambulance nor was there a doctor to look after the baby, risking its safety.
The video clip was posted by someone named Govind Gurjar on his Twitter account. It showed the man carrying the baby, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth, and the oxygen pipe connected to its nose. Another person was dragging the oxygen cylinder along the ground.
The hospital management denied any knowledge of the incident and refused to comment on it. This careless attitude of the hospital officials raised serious questions about the safety and care of the patients.
This is not the first time that the hospital has been accused of negligence. Residents of Gwalior have long been raising concerns about the lack of proper medical care provided by the hospital. It is high time that the hospital management takes proper responsibility and ensures that such incidents do not occur again.
