The authorities of Ad-din Hospital have decided to provide Tk 8 million in compensation to each family affected by the deaths of six newborns at the hospital in Moghbazar, Dhaka. The amount was determined through joint discussions between the affected families and the hospital authorities.
Lawyer Mohammad Shishir Monir, who acted as a mediator between the families and the hospital authorities, disclosed the information on Sunday.
Shishir Monir said, “The other benefits previously announced for the affected families will also remain in place.”
Earlier on Saturday, the families of the newborns who died at Ad-din Hospital in Dhaka were offered compensation, lifelong free medical treatment, educational assistance and employment opportunities. The announcement was made at a press conference organized by the hospital authorities, who pledged to stand by the affected families in the long term.
