Delhi government hospital for children in pitiable state; 2,000 kids die every year.

IBNLive: New Delhi: Wednesday, October 24, 2012.
Delhi government's hospital for children - Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital - is turning into a horror zone with almost six children dying every day. An RTI document has revealed that over 2000 out of the 24,000 kids admitted every year die at the hospital.
This is due to inadequate facilities and unhygienic conditions. Over four kids are allotted the same bed due to a shortage of beds.
Nine out of 25 ventilators are non-functional at the hospital. Kalavati hospital is the largest pediatric hospital in the capital.
