Tragedy struck a government hospital in Maharashtra's Nanded district as 24 lives were lost within a mere 24-hour period. Shockingly, among the victims were 12 newborns, and the hospital authorities attributed these devastating deaths to a severe shortage of essential medicines. The hospital's dean revealed that the infants, a mix of boys and girls, were among the casualties, while adults succumbed to various ailments, including fatal snake bites. In a grim turn of events, the death toll continued to rise, with over 30 lives lost within 48 hours at the same facility. The dire situation sparked outrage, with former party chief Rahul Gandhi criticizing the government's priorities, questioning why funds were lavishly spent on publicity while children's medicine remained scarce. This heart-wrenching incident underscores the urgent need for healthcare reform and resource allocation to prevent such tragedies in the future.
