Newborn Dies at Bajpur Primary Health Centre; Family Blames ANM Negligence

Earlier this week, a newborn died during delivery at Bajpur Additional Primary Health Centre in Bihar. Relatives gathered outside the facility, demanding accountability and accusing the Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) on duty of negligence. They claim the ANM failed to administer timely treatment and did not refer the baby to a higher‑level facility, leading to the death. The hospital has not yet issued a statement; local authorities are expected to investigate.
