Newborn Dies at Bajpur Health Centre; Family Blames ANM for Negligence

A newborn infant died during delivery at the Bajpur Additional Primary Health Centre in Bihar. The child’s parents and relatives gathered outside the facility, demanding answers from the staff. They accused the auxiliary nurse midwife (ANM) on duty of neglect, claiming she failed to provide timely medical care and did not refer the baby to a higher‑level hospital. No doctor was present at the centre at the time of the delivery. The incident has sparked outrage among the local community and calls for a review of staffing and emergency protocols at the health post.
