NHRC investigates death of newborn due to ventilator unavailability.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), India has taken suo motu cognizance of a media report that a newborn died as he could not secure ventilator support for nearly 24 hours in the hospitals of Hisar and Rohtak in Haryana.
Reportedly, the father of the newborn struggled to obtain ventilator support for his child, moving from one hospital to another, resulting in the infant's death.
This case reflects systemic issues in healthcare accessibility, a relevant topic for GS papers.
