 "Jharkhand health crisis: 52 infants die in 30 days in Jamshedpur")
The death of 52 infants over 30 days at Jamshedpur’s Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College hospital in Jharkhand, reported on August 27, 2017, by the news agency ANI, calls to attention the health of women and extent of malnutrition in India’s 10th poorest state by per capita income.
The number of deaths is not extraordinary, B Bhushan, medical superintendent of the state-run Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College hospital, told IndiaSpend. “More deaths were reported this month because more children were admitted,” he said, adding that patients from Bengal too come to the hospital.
