The mother of a four-month-old baby, who passed away on Monday, is planning to approach the court seeking justice for alleged negligence by Thamarassery Taluk Government Hospital during her delivery. The baby passed away at 3am on Monday at Government Medical College Hospital after four months of life with ventilator support.
The family alleges that the baby lost its life due to negligence from health workers, including the gynaecologist at the taluk hospital, where they sought assistance when the labour pain began. They also claim that Thamarassery police authorities took no action on the complaint filed three months ago.
The child, born to Gireesh and Bindu from Puthuppadi, required ventilator support from birth. "The baby had difficulty breathing, having sustained brain damage due to delivery delay. If the Thamarassery hospital provided proper treatment, this tragedy could have been avoided," the mother told
