Newborn starts crying in Silchar Samshan after private hospital declared dead: Family questions management

In a shocking and heart-wrenching incident, a premature baby declared dead at Life Line Nursing Home in Silchar miraculously revived while in Samshan.

The harrowing tale began when a pregnant woman from Chatla Ratanpur sought medical attention after experiencing complications during her pregnancy. Her family members allege that they initially visited Silchar Medical College and Hospital for treatment but were left dissatisfied with the care they received over a five-day period.

Desperate for proper medical assistance, the family learned about Dr. AF Nauman, a gynecologist, at Silchar Civil Hospital, who reportedly directed them to Life Line Nursing Home in Silchar.

Upon arriving at Life Line Nursing Home, the pregnant woman was promptly attended to by Dr. Nauman. Due to a premature rupture of membranes, the delivery process was fraught with complexity. However, through medical intervention, Dr. Nauman managed to perform a successful normal delivery of the baby, who weighed only 500 grams and was born in the seventh month of pregnancy.

Tragically, the following morning, the hospital staff declared the newborn dead while it was still wrapped in rompers. The grieving family proceeded to take the child to the crematorium, where an astonishing turn of events occurred. To their amazement and relief, the baby’s cries pierced the air, signaling that the infant was, in fact, alive.

Panicked and bewildered, the family rushed the newborn back to the hospital, where the medical team immediately resumed care by admitting the child to the Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Nauman, in response to the events, stated that he had entrusted the baby’s care to the pediatrician after the delivery and had advised the nursing staff to closely monitor the child due to the precarious nature of premature births. He had also mentioned that such infants often succumb within a few hours.

The family has voiced serious allegations against the hospital management, accusing them of neglecting the child’s well-being, possibly due to their economic status. The incident has raised questions about the quality of care provided to vulnerable patients, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
