Haryana Rights Commissions Investigate Newborn Death and Neonatal Care Infrastructure

Analysed 13 Jul 2026·3 sources analysed·Haryana, India·Social
Haryana Rights Commissions Investigate Newborn Death and Neonatal Care InfrastructurePreviousNext

The Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) has taken suo motu cognisance of a newborn's death on July 2 in Hisar, allegedly due to lack of ventilator support as the family sought care across multiple hospitals. The HHRC and National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) have issued notices to the Haryana government and district authorities, requesting detailed reports on neonatal care policies, ventilator availability, and hospital coordination. Reports indicate limited neonatal ventilators at Hisar Civil Hospital, with many ICU ventilators unused or non-functional. The commissions seek explanations and measures to improve emergency neonatal care.
