New Delhi: In West Bengal, two more deaths have taken place at the Malda Medical College. Over a 100 babies have died in the region this year itself. As always, doctors claimed that the infants were malnourished and critical when brought to the hospital.
West Bengal has been witnessing an increasing number of infant deaths at government facilities.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has attributed the deaths to malnutrition and birth at home.
Observing that 50,000 babies die each year in the state because they were born at home, Banerjee had said recently, "It is not due to hospital treatment that they are dying. They don't come to hospital. When they come, they are gasping. There is no scope of treating them."
