The resident doctors of Rajasthan, who are attached to the seven government medical colleges, were on a strike which they lately called off. But during these days the health conditions in the government hospitals crippled. Not just in government hospitals but also in the private hospitals the health conditions are going from bad to worse. \u00a0In the past nine days, more than 10 infants died in two different Udaipur hospitals.<\/p>\n
Such incidents have once again raised questions on the health conditions in the hospitals of the state.\u00a0Also between May 15 and 25, more than 15 new born babies died in the Jawahar Lal Nehru hospital in Ajmer which is run by the government.<\/p>\n
