24 died in one day in Maharashtra hospital. Of these, 12 were children, 70 were in critical condition; 1200 patients admitted in 500 bed hospital

The dean of the hospital said that 6 boys and 6 girls have died in the last 24 hours.

In Maharashtra, 24 patients died in 24 hours at Shankarrao Chavan Government Hospital in Nanded. Those who lost their lives included 12 children, women and 5 men. The hospital administration said that all of them died between 12 midnight on September 30 and 12 midnight on October 1.

After these deaths the family members created a ruckus in the hospital. There is a provision of 500 beds in the hospital, but 1200 patients are admitted. In which the condition of 70 patients is still critical.

This matter came to the media on 2 October. When the hospital administration was asked about this, it kept calling these deaths as a normal incident throughout the day (2 October). The administration said that 4 patients died due to heart attack. 1 patient had liver failure. One patient died due to poison consumption, 2 due to infection and 1 woman died due to excessive bleeding during delivery. Meanwhile, investigation into other deaths is underway.

On the other hand, late in the evening, hospital superintendent Dr. Shyam Rao Wakode said that there is a shortage of medicines used in the treatment of snack bites and other serious diseases in the hospital. Haffkine Company has stopped supplying medicines. Employees are constantly being transferred from the hospital, so we are short on staff.

The dean of the hospital said- Patients come here from far and wide. The number of patients increases in a few days and this creates problems for the budget.

One government hospital within a radius of 70-80 km
The dean of the hospital said that 6 boys and 6 girls have died in the last 24 hours. We are a tertiary care center and the only government hospital within a radius of 70 to 80 kilometres. That’s why patients come to us from far and wide. The number of patients increases in a few days and this creates problems for the budget.

The dean told that we had to buy medicines from an institute named Haffkine, but this could not happen. So we purchased medicines locally and provided them to the patients.

Many hospitals are facing shortage of medicines
According to local media reports, many government hospitals in the state are facing shortage of medicines. Patients are losing their lives due to not getting medicines on time. It is also being claimed in some reports that many hospitals have stopped purchasing from the medicine supplying company Haffkine Institute, due to which many hospitals in the state are facing shortage of medicines.

Supriya Sule asked for the resignation of the concerned minister.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule held the state government responsible for the incident. He wrote on X- The deaths in a government hospital in Nanded are no coincidence. These should be investigated.

Asking questions to the government, he asked whether the lives of the people of Maharashtra have become so cheap. This is a case of delay and negligence. Strict action should be taken in this matter. The resignation of the concerned minister of the state should also be taken. Besides, compensation should also be given to the families of all the deceased.
