Family alleges negligence; Doc says babies were premature

The family alleged that due to the non-availability of the ambulance, timely medical help could not be provided, which could have saved the lives of the children.

District Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr D.J. Mohanty told PTI that the babies were premature.

"Rajni was first taken to the government health centre in Ghuthas. When her condition worsened, she was referred to the Bichhiya Community Health Centre. She delivered the quadruplets in an autorickshaw on the way. The babies, three girls and one boy, were born prematurely, weighing around 1.5 kg each," the CMHO said.

Rajni's husband, Ganesh Singaram, alleged that he called the emergency ambulance service, but received no response. He was forced to take his wife to the hospital in an auto.

According to the health department, the babies died due to a 7-month premature birth and immaturity. Rajni has been admitted to the Bichhiya Community Health Centre and is out of danger.

Mandla District Collector Rahul Namdev Dhote stated that he has not yet received any complaints in this matter.

If a complaint is received, the incident will be investigated, and appropriate action will be taken.

The victim's husband said, 'If the ambulance had been received on time, our four children would have been alive today'
