RATS BIT THE FINGERS OF ONE NEWBORN IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (ICU) AT THE 75-YEAR-OLD FACILITY, WHICH IS AMONG THE BIGGEST IN MP, WHILE ANOTHER WAS BIT ON THE HEAD AND SHOULDER. ONE OF THE INFANTS DIED TUESDAY, WHILE THE OTHER PASSED AWAY WEDNESDAY
The rat menace in Madhya Pradesh government-run Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital (MYH) in Indore has once again come to the fore following the death of two newborn girls at the facility, with some stakeholders decrying the state of affairs despite several crore rupees getting spent on pest control and cleanliness.
Rats bit the fingers of one newborn in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the 75-year-old facility, which is among the biggest in MP, while another was bit on the head and shoulder. One of the infants died Tuesday, while the other passed away Wednesday, officials said.
In 1994, after the plague outbreak in Gujarat’s Surat, MYH was fully evacuated for a few days in a drive under then Indore District Magistrate Sudhi Ranjan Mohanty, who later became the state’s chief secretary, that saw the elimination of 12000 rats, an official said Friday.
In 2014, a similar campaign at MYH under then Indore Divisional Commissioner (Revenue) Sanjay Dubey saw around 2500 rats being killed, he added.
