Three Neonatal Deaths at Rajawadi Hospital Prompt Probe Amid Doctor Shortage Concerns
Three neonatal deaths occurred at Mumbai's Rajawadi Hospital on August 26, prompting the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's health committee to order an investigation into the causes and medical care provided. Two deaths involved intrauterine fetal deaths, while the third was a newborn who died shortly after birth. Separately, the hospital faces a 30% shortage of Resident Medical Officers, with reports of a single doctor managing up to 500 patients per shift, raising concerns about staff workload and patient care during the monsoon season.
