2017 Gorakhpur hospital deaths
The 2017 Gorakhpur hospital deaths refer to a tragic incident that occurred at the Baba Raghav Das Medical College in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, in August 2017. Over the span of a few days, more than 60 children, many of whom were infants, died under mysterious circumstances, primarily due to alleged oxygen shortages. The crisis garnered national and international attention, raising serious concerns about the healthcare infrastructure in India. Reports indicated that a financial dispute between the hospital administration and oxygen suppliers contributed to the crisis. The aftermath sparked widespread outrage, protests, and calls for accountability, leading to investigations and political implications for state officials.
