Those who died were either underweight, underdeveloped or had some disease,” he added. Hospital sources said the hospital had four ventilators but nobody was trained to operate them. Because of this, many newborns and other patients who need them don’t benefit. Chief Medical Officer Rajesh Pandey said he was not aware of any such deaths.
