The Human Human Rights Commission has taken Suo Motu a recognition of an incident concerning a newborn whose arms were completely interrupted during birth in the NuH hospital. The Commission stated that the incident “represents a violation of the grave of the child’s rights anchored on the basis of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)” and “undermines the belief in the public institution”.
The Commission, which is looking for a detailed medical and factual report of a civil surgeon in fourteen days, demanded the chairman of Lalit Batra to recognize the exact circumstances of the delivery, the reasons for interrupting the limb, steps taken for treatment and rehabilitation of the child.
The right to the Safe Childbirth and Postnatal Care is an Integral Part of the Right to Health Procedures, Particularly in a Government Facility Where Patients Rely Upon Public Healthcare, Not Only Endangers Lives But Undermines Faith in Public Institutions, ”Observed The Commission, in ITS four -sided order.
The incident occurred on July 30, 2025, when the child was admitted to the civil hospital Mandi Khera for birth. “It is also said that instead of dealing with due responsibility and care, the attending physicians reacted aggressively, using the abuse of language and forcing the family from the department. The newborn was subsequently ceded to the Louhar hospital,” the commission said.
The three -member commission, consisting of members of Kuldip Jain and Deep Bhatia, noted that Article 6 UNCRC confirmed that each child had a natural right to life and a state that should ensure the maximum scope of survival and development of the child, and Article 19 to protect children from all forms of physical or mental damage or neglect or neglect or neglecting. “A permanent and irreversible injury caused by a newborn at birth is a direct violation of these international obligations,” the order said, adding that it had undermined “the child’s right to health, dignity and life without preventing harm”.
