India, Sept. 10 -- A 26-week-old baby died Sunday evening after being born in the washroom of a Delhi government-run hospital, allegedly due to a lack of basic medical resources and delay in care.
The mother, a 21-year-old woman identified as Pooja, was reportedly a destitute patient admitted under a court order, raising serious questions about the hospital's handling of vulnerable individuals.
