It's been heartbreaking to see infants die just after 24 hrs of being born.10 infants have died in just two days in kurnool governmement hospital in andhra pradesh.The parents of poor parent just paid the price of being poor as these govt. hospital were inequipped to handle such cases,the ventilators used by hospitals were faulty and not supplying oxygen.Such cases occur throughout the india.According to india infant mortality rate 47.57 infant die out of 1000 new born babies.It has declined in India from 70 infants per 1000 live births in 1999.But the major concern across the india is that proper healthcare is somewhat unavailable to poor people due to a huge corruption level in healthcare system of india.
Besides this horrific tragedy certain people like Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty an Indian philanthropist and a cardiac surgeon who is certainly doing a great job in this field.
Yeshasvini the world's cheapest comprehensive health insurance scheme, at Rs.5 (11 cents) per month, designed by Shetty and the Government of Karnataka for the poor farmers of the state. It is very well-utilized in Karnataka with 2.5 million people covered.
Such initiative should be carried out in an earnest way as right of survival is basic right to any newborn whether he is born poor or rich.
