A newly born baby’s eyes were allegedly eaten up by ants in a hospital in India.

New Delhi, April 12/Nationalturk – In a rare incident, a nine-day old baby’s eyes were reportedly eaten up by ants while she remained unattended in an incubator in a hospital in India.

According to media reports,  the incident took place nearly a week back in Jodhpur’s Umaid Hospital in Indian state of Rajasthan.  The 9-day old girl child was admitted to the hospital for treatment as she was the case of a premature birth. She remained in an incubator in the hospital. However, during the time she remained unattended.

Mohan, father of the infant, alleged that doctors in the hospital did not pay any attention to her daughter despite his repeated complaints.

“I complained to them several times that child’s eyes were swollen. But they (doctors) gave deaf ears to my pleas and did not come to see her,” he alleged.

Mohan alleged that the doctors came for dressing only after the matter was reported in the local media.

A top health official confirmed that they have received the complaints in this regard. “We have already formed a committee to probe the allegations. We are awaiting the report.”

He said the guilty doctors, if any, won’t be spared.

According to media reports,  at least 26 women had died in the same hospital after they were administered HIV-infected blood. It caused massive uproar and authorities formed a committee to fix the responsibility.
