Jagannath Mishra, a grieving father from Sundaragada, has knocked on the doors of the Chief Minister seeking justice following the tragic and mysterious death of his newborn son at the Sundaragada Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).
According to the complaint, Mr Mishra brought his wife, Priti Snigdha Mishra, to the hospital on November 6 at around 6:00 PM for delivery upon the advice of Professor Sujata Singh. A healthy baby boy was successfully delivered through a cesarean section. Family members stated that the newborn was active, cried normally, and was even breastfed by the mother before being taken to the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU).
However, the situation took a tragic turn the next morning on November 7. Hospital staff abruptly informed the family that the baby’s health had deteriorated critically. Despite being admitted to the SNCU, the infant passed away around 9:00 AM. Alleging medical negligence and apathy, the distraught family has strongly demanded strict disciplinary action against the responsible healthcare personnel.
