What does the Nanded Hospital Tragedy tell us about our Health Infra?
Nearly half of the deaths in the government hospital in Maharashtra were of newborns. There is an uproar about the lack of doctors and nurses, non-functional instruments, lack of medicines and filth in the hospital. But the Nanded deaths are not really an outlier or an aberration.
Let's look into some figures that take us deeper.. figures that the TV anchors never talk about in their hate-filled Prime Times.
While the news cycle moves on to more banal headlines, let's not forget to ask the questions that matter!
▪Why do we rank so shamefully low in health spending?
▪Why is our public health infra in such pitiable neglect?
▪Why are we privatizing healthcare making it inaccessible for millions?
