There were 12 adults (five men, seven women) and 12 kids among the patients. Four people had heart illness, one had been poisoned, one had gastrointestinal disease, two had renal problems, one had obstetric issues, and three had been in accidents. Four of the youngsters were referred from private hospitals while they were in the final stage, the statement said.



Chief Minister Eknath Shinde described the fatalities as "unfortunate" and assured Mumbai media that further details regarding what transpired at the hospital will be gathered before any action was taken.

According to Dr. Dilip Mhaisekar, Director of Medical Education and Research, Maharashtra, a committee has been established to investigate the fatalities.

"24 lives were lost in all. Thirty are still essential. There are not enough medical facilities or personnel. There were several transfers of nurses and no replacements were provided. There are several broken machines. Although the hospital only has 500 beds available, 1,200 patients are admitted. I'll discuss this with Ajit Pawar. After visiting the hospital today, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and seasoned Congressman Ashok Chavan urged the government to thoroughly investigate the situation and take charge.

"All 24 innocent lives were lost because of the triple-engine Sarkar. Supriya Sule, the daughter of Sharad Pawar, stated that they should be held accountable.
