The newborn baby girl, Galiba Hayat, who was found alive while being buried in Faridpur on Thursday, died at Square Hospital in the city on Sunday night.
The baby breathed her last around 11:00pm in the Neonatal Incentive Care Unit (NICU) of the hospital, said Aftab Yusuf Raj, a consultant at the hospital.
The 23-week-old Galiba Hayat, weighing only 450 grams, had heart problems and infections, he said, adding that doctors at the hospital tried their best to save her.
Earlier in the day, the physician said it was a miracle that the baby, bleeding from different parts of her body, was still alive.
The baby was admitted to the Square Hospital around 7:30pm on Saturday, after being flown by a helicopter chartered with funds received from an anonymous donor in Hungary.
During the day, the girl’s father Nazmul Huda Mithu said: “Allah has brought my daughter back from the jaws of death. Insha Allah, she will survive … I wish to take her home well.”
He blamed Rezia Alam, doctor of Zahid Memorial Child Hospital in Faridpur, who declared the baby dead, for his daughter’s infections.
Contacted, Rezia said that the baby girl was born premature and that she did not find her pulse and heartbeat during examination. That’s why she declared her dead.
On Wednesday night, lawyer Naznin Akhter Popy, wife of local cricketer Nazmul Huda Mithu of Kamlapur area in Fridpur, was taken to Zahid Memorial Child Hospital in the district town around 12:30am after she complained of labour pain.
Popy gave birth to a baby girl through normal delivery. However, Rezia Alam, a physician of the hospital, declared the baby dead two hours after her birth, the parents said.
The family members took the baby in a carton to the graveyard at night for burial. As it was dark, they were asked to come in the morning, said Alipur graveyard custodian Haji Abdur Rab, adding they obliged, keeping the carton carrying the baby beside a concrete-made grave.
Galiba cried out at the graveyard when her family members were preparing
to bury her on Thursday morning, six hours after a doctor pronounced her dead. Later, the baby girl was taken to the same hospital. On Saturday morning, at one stage as the condition of the baby was improving, she was taken to the city’s Square Hospital.
