In a shocking case of medical negligence, a family in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore has alleged that rats nibbled their newborn child’s feet in a government-run hospital. The incident happened on Monday in Indore’s largest government-run Maharaja Yeshwantrao (MY) hospital’s nursery care unit where the rats allegedly nibbled at the feet of a 19-day-old baby boy, prompting a probe.
According to information received from hospital sources, the child was kept in a nursery located on the first floor of the hospital as the child was not fully developed weighing nearly one kg and four hundred grams. The matter came to light when Priyanka, the mother of the child, went to feed him milk on Monday morning and was shocked to see blood oozing from one of the toes of the infant.
