The Story in Brief
TPCC working president T Jayaprakash Reddy helped a woman secure urgent treatment for her unresponsive four-month-old baby at Sangareddy Government Hospital late on Wednesday night, The New Indian Express reports. The infant had suffered fits, while the mother, Pravalika, had arrived alone because her in-laws were unwell and her husband was away driving.
During what the report describes as a surprise inspection, Reddy took the mother and child in his car to the hospital’s Mother and Child Health Centre. He spoke to doctors and stayed until the baby recovered. He also called the child’s husband and asked him to come to the hospital.
The Indian Opinion
The story should not become either a hero-worship exercise or an excuse to overlook hospital staff. Reddy’s intervention helped a vulnerable mother reach treatment, but the larger test is whether an unresponsive infant can receive immediate care without needing a politician’s presence. Sangareddy hospital authorities should examine what happened in the ward and ensure that emergency assistance is available to every patient, day and night.
