Jaipur : In Zanana Hospital, Chandpole, Jaipur, the lives of newborn babies are in danger due to the arbitrary decisions of the responsible officials, especially the Superintendent. The hospital administration suddenly vacated the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) ward on Wednesday and shifted the babies to the nursery. There was already a shortage of beds in the nursery, due to which two babies were kept on one bed. There is also a risk of infection due to this. Some babies have been kept in the open near verandahs and gates, where the gusts of cold air are making them restless. Experts say that this situation is extremely dangerous for weak newborns. Low birth weight (up to one kilogram) babies born at Zanana Hospital are kept in the KMC ward for additional care. But on Wednesday afternoon suddenly the hospital administration vacated the ward and shifted ten infants to the nursery.
Milk bank scheme… ward closed
Now there are preparations to make a milk bank in the KMC ward of Zanana Hospital, hence it was closed and locked on Wednesday. There is already a shortage of resources in nurseries. In such a situation, some babies have been shitted out in the open.
This is from Kangaroo Mother Care importance
kangaroo Mother care is a natural treatment, in which newborns are kept close to the mother’s chest. This controls their body temperature and improves their unity. This technique treats weak and underweight newborns. KMC ward was made in Zanana Hospital about ten years ago.
reason for increasing problems
NICU ward remains closed: About two months ago, the roof of the 20-bed NICU had collapsed, which is still awaiting renovation.
Lack of resources: There is already a shortage of staff and beds in the nursery. In such a situation, it is becoming difficult to handle additional babies.
Care in the open: Infants are kept in the open near verandahs and gates, increasing the risk of infection and cold.
The ward has been vacated to build a milk bank. Separate beds have been reserved for infants. Everything will be settled soon. There is no such thing as trouble.
