Non-Medical Errors: Time to Act

Abstract

People are in a habit of blaming that health care facilities are inadequate or unavailable and death is unavoidable at many time. Do we think this is the truth? The answer to this question is No. Most of the deaths in children in the hospital settings are preventable in present era of science and medicine (depending on type of problem or etiology). Sick children including newborns have better and effective outcome if timely help or intervention is provided to them. Parents/family bring their child to health care facility with the hope that Doctor is God and can save their hope and it is true to great extent. We also understand that treatment is matter of faith and doctors are most trust worthy in the eyes of parents, patients, family or society.
