Babies are dying because of NHS neglect
From our UK edition
Mums begging for help and being ignored, mums in labour turned away from hospital and sent home sometimes for days and days, midwives and obstetricians who are supposed to care instead shrugging and rolling their eyes, the most basic failures in care – observations not done, monitoring ignored, an air of lackadaisical ignorance and complacency. Babies fade away and die on the very brink of life, coming into the world silently, or die within hours or days of birth because of catastrophic failings of care during labour, or are born alive but their brains irreparably injured by oxygen deprivation, leaving them with serious disabilities and shortened lives.
