National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notice to Union Health Secretary and Health Secretary of Delhi Government over reports of a newly born's death due to denial of treatment at three Government hospitals. Taking a suo motu cognizance of media reports, the commission has asked them to file a report within four weeks in the matter. <br/>NHRC said, according to media reports, the child was born pre-mature with under developed lungs and weak organs at a private nursing home. She needed special care, including a ventilator for further treatment. <br/><br/>It said, her family members took her from one Government Hospital to another by a CATS ambulance but could not get her admitted for treatment. The Commission has observed that the right to health is a basic human right and the State has a responsibility to fulfill this right. Any denial of this right and that too in a case of a newly born in a serious condition is abominable.
