Outrag­e over qualit­y of costly privat­e health­care in IndiaTwo doctors have been fired from a hospital in Delhi after mistakenly pronouncing a newborn dead on 30 November. According to NDTV, a 22-week pregnant mother gave birth to twins, of which the girl was a stillborn while the boy was declared dead hours later. The bodies of the twins were handed to the parents in plastic bags. This was the second time in recent months where a private hospital in India has been accused of negligent care. Last month, a girl died of dengue fever in another hospital and the parents allege they were overcharged for her treatment.
