Days after the reports of over 100 infant deaths in Kota, a similar tragedy seems to be unfolding in Gujarat's Rajkot where 134 infants met the same fate in December alone. According to reports, 134 children have died at a government hospital in Rajkot in the last one month. However, the cause of death of children is being said to be malnutrition, diseases from birth, premature birth, and mother's malnourishment.
The children who died in a civil hospital in Rajkot are also said to be newborns like the ones in Kota. Reports claim that the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) does not have the capacity and the required facilities to treat children weighing less than 2.5 kg.
According to official records, in 2019, Rajkot recorded 1235 deaths of infants, while, Jamnagar recorded 639 deaths.
The state government argues that around 400 children are admitted in hospitals every month out of which, 80-90 children die of premature delivery and malnutrition at the time of birth.
Officials also claim that children from private hospitals are sent in a critical condition to a government hospital. Which is why the death rate of children increases in government hospitals.
