Thank You!
I would be pouring in some thoughts about this instance in future as the baby is still in NICU. I would also be poring through the data of healthcare of premature babies so that I can provide a substantial piece of information.
I can’t comment on the situation in India, but I am more familiar with that in the US. I’ve known parents who lost a child that could have probably been saved at a top tier medical center, and I’ve known parents whose children lived because they were at such a center. But the costs were several hundred thousand. Ultimately, the costs are such that the parents can’t pay them, so the issue then becomes how to distribute those costs on society.
But certainly equipping every community hospital is not practical nor efficient.
