Hospital Tragedy: Rat Attacks Lead to Controversial Reshuffles

After two newborn girls died following a rat attack at Indore's Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital, the hospital administration removed heads of certain departments, including the paediatric surgery head. Controversy continues as some officials face disciplinary actions, while a tribal group demands further accountability from the hospital leadership.

In the wake of a tragic incident involving the death of two newborn girls at Indore's Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital due to a rat attack, major administrative changes have been implemented.

The head of paediatric surgery was dismissed following a state-level inquiry that examined the unfortunate events. The hospital's superintendent also took a sudden leave citing health issues amidst the crisis.

Despite charges of negligence, hospital officials attribute the deaths to congenital deformities and not rat bites, as pressure mounts from tribal organizations demanding accountability from higher management.
