I would expect that this is also partly due to the extreme temperatures being experienced in the region - see this thread - http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=206082
Niloufer lax, 17 kids die in Hyderabad
DC | Kaniza Garari | 24th May 2013
Hyderabad: An average 11 deaths occur in the neo-natal ward of Niloufer Hospital every day. On May 22, 17 deaths occurred in the ward. The high death rate is being attributed to the fact that the neo-natal ward hasn?t been sterilised for the last eight months.
Paediatricians working in the hospital are concerned at the increasing number of infant deaths. They claim that the overload of patients does not allow basic anti-infection measures to be carried out. It is essential to carry out these measures but that would require scaling down operations.
The 30-bed ward has over 130 infants at any given time. A senior doctor on condition of anonymity explained, ?The policy of the hospital is to admit all the patients. Two days ago, an attempt was made to carry out anti-infection procedures but we could do it only partially.?
Another serious problem in the neo-natal section is lack of nurses, and paramedical staff. There are only two nurses so parents are often asked to monitor their own children, even in the neo-natal intensive care unit, which is why it is always crowded. Large numbers of people from outside always increase the risk of infection to the patient.
