Months after the death of 19 children in Madhya Pradesh, a permanent pediatrician has not been appointed at the Parasia Civil Hospital. The hospital is still waiting for a doctor to be posted.
The Parasia Civil Hospital in Madhya Pradesh is facing a severe shortage of pediatricians. Despite the tragic incident of 19 children dying due to a cough syrup, the hospital has not received a permanent pediatrician. The posting of a doctor has been done, but the doctor has not reported to the hospital. This has raised concerns about the healthcare system in the state. The hospital is struggling to provide adequate care to the children, and the absence of a pediatrician is exacerbating the situation. The state government needs to take immediate action to address this issue and ensure that the hospital has a permanent pediatrician.
