No Media Reported This Pathetic News!

This particular incident reveals how most of the electronic media of AP runs after TRPs in spite of reporting the grievances being faced by the people. Reports are it that a Baby girl died in AP hours after she was born as the ambulance being used to move her yesterday ran out of oxygen.

The Baby, faced respiratory problem after being born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck at Eluru District hospital of West Godavari district was to be transported to a state-run hospital in Vijayawada. 

When the driver of the ambulance noticed in midway after covering a 10 km distance that the oxygen cylinder being used to help the Baby breathe was nearly empty he drove the van back to the Eluru hospital to seek assistance, but the Baby died. Only the Baby's grandmother was present in the van then. 

The officials complained that there was only  30-40 per cent shortage in staff. As a result there was no paramedical staff, no male or female nursing orderly accompanies any patient being taken to a referral hospital in the two ambulances attached to the hospital. Ironically, this particular hospital won the best hospital award earlier this year. 

This entire episode reflects the poor plight of the people in below poverty line at the hospitals. Despite broadcasting commercial programs for hours together, the AP's media should switch on spotlight on the setbacks in hospitals and the plight of the people of the people there.
