A newborn died at a high-end hospital in the capital yesterday amid allegation of negligence.

The incident caused an uproar on the social media.

Family of the newborn alleged that doctors' negligence played a role in death.

However, the hospital authorities said they did not receive any complaint in this regard yet. 

Taslima, the mother, in a video that went viral on the social media, alleged that she went to the hospital around 9:00pm on April 5, at the start of 39th week of pregnancy as she faced difficulties sensing movement of the baby.

She was admitted to the hospital after the doctor in the emergency department, following ultrasonogram, said that there was no problem with the baby's movement and she should be admitted for delivery.

“I didn't want the delivery at the time since I did not feel any labour pain...,” Taslima said in the video.

However, the doctors there admitted her against the will of her and her husband and gave her medication multiple times to induce labour pain.

The next day, unable to bear excruciating pain, Taslima requested the doctor concerned to conduct a C-section.

The doctor however misbehaved with her and insisted on a normal delivery, she said.

“When the pain was so extreme and I could not take it [anymore], the doctor [finally] conducted the C-section,” Taslima said.

“The baby was kept at the ICU,” she said.

The newborn died early hours yesterday.

Contacted, Taslima's maternal uncle Reza Ul Karim said they were preparing to take legal action against the hospital authorities over the negligence.
