Newborn Dies in Hisar After Ventilator Unavailability Across Three Hospitals
A newborn in Hisar died after nearly 24 hours without ventilator support, as the family sought critical care across three hospitals. Born via caesarean section at Hisar Civil Hospital, the infant required immediate ventilation but was referred to Medical College Agroha and then PGIMS Rohtak, where no ventilators were available. The family later took the baby to a private hospital, where the child was declared dead. Officials cited limited ventilator availability, and the family has filed complaints seeking an inquiry.
