NEW DELHI: Two nurses were arrested on Thursday in connection with the death of a five-day-old baby girl kept in an incubator of a government-run hospital. [...] The incident took place early morning on Wednesday following a short circuit and the baby was charred to death. [...]. Admitted to the hospital since March eight, the baby had been kept in the incubator as she had contracted jaundice and was under-weight. [link]
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat government has formed a three-member inquiry committee to probe into an incident in which a three-day-old baby was charred to death in an incubator following a short circuit at the Shardaben hospital. [...] After the inspection of equipment by the experts, they will be reutilised, an AMC official said. The baby died at the city hospital during early hours on Wednesday when the incubator caught fire due to a short-circuit. [link]
Now, that would have to be one heck of a coincidence and an extremely tragic one too. Of course the respective Goverment agencies are running their own investigations. There is no indication that this coincidence was noticed, at least till the last time we checked the news.
If you happen to know someone connected to the medical profession or from the health department, please bring this to their attention.
