19 Kids Die, No Doctor

The Parasia Civil Hospital in Madhya Pradesh is facing a severe crisis in providing healthcare to children. Despite the tragic incident of 19 children dying after consuming a cough syrup, the hospital has not been able to appoint a permanent pediatrician. The absence of a specialist doctor is affecting the quality of care provided to the young patients. The hospital administration had initiated the process of hiring a pediatrician, but it has not yielded any results so far. The lack of a specialist doctor is a cause of concern for the parents of the children who visit the hospital.
