3 babies die at Rajawadi Hospital in one day; BMC orders probe
Three neonatal deaths occurred at Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar on August 26, 2023, leading the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to order an investigation. The hospital reported two intrauterine fetal deaths (IUFDs) and one newborn who died two hours after birth. Health Committee chairperson Harish Bhandirge visited the hospital and questioned the superintendent, senior medical officer, and involved doctors.
The hospital administration claimed they had been following guidelines in examining fetal heart rates and providing antenatal monitoring, but MNS alleged medical negligence and demanded a probe. The investigation will examine the causes of the deaths and review the hospital's functioning, including medical facilities, equipment, manpower, and emergency response.
