Islamabad: Newborn
twins in a hospital in Pakistan's Rawalpindi city have been badly
bitten by rats, media reports said Tuesday.
The babies were just a day old when they were bitten at the
gynaecology ward of the Holy Family hospital Monday, Geo News
reported. The rats bit the babies on the lips, cheeks, noses and
fingers.
Medical Superintendent Fayyazul Hassan confirmed the incident, but
said the babies were shifted to a nursery after treatment and were
in "good health".
However, Online news agency reported that one of the babies died.
The twins' mother, Raheela, gave birth at the hospital Sunday and
the babies were kept in a nursery. A group of mice attacked the
twins around 2 a.m. Monday, and as a result, one of the babies
died, Online said.
Sources told the Daily Times that "free movement" and presence of
rats and cats in the hospital, especially around the labour room,
was a "common scene".
The relatives of the babies protested against the negligence of
the hospital administration and demanded that authorities take
stern action.
