In a shocking incident at the Raja Nursing Home in Bithoor, Kanpur, a newborn girl was left in a warmer machine, resulting in her death due to burns. The hospital staff, including nurses, neglected the infant after placing her in the warmer to address her coldness, leaving the machine running without supervision. The situation escalated when smoke was emitted from the warmer, prompting family members to intervene, but it was too late. The deceased child was the firstborn of parents Arun and Shalu, and the tragedy has raised serious concerns regarding patient safety and hospital protocols.

Following the incident, angry relatives of the deceased child protested violently at the hospital, leading to property damage as they expressed their grief and outrage over the hospital’s negligence. Arun, the father, has filed a formal complaint against the hospital administration, demanding accountability for their actions. The local police have sealed the ICU of the hospital and a dedicated team from the Chief Medical Officer's office is conducting an in-depth investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child's death.

Authorities have stated that under Supreme Court guidelines, a team of doctors will first investigate the circumstances of the death before proceeding with further actions. Meanwhile, a special panel of doctors is performing a post-mortem on the newborn to ascertain the exact cause of death. The incident highlights critical lapses in hospital management and raises broader questions about healthcare standards and regulatory compliance in Indian hospitals, particularly in private facilities.
