The Supreme Court didn’t just express outrage; it made them pay. ₹12 lakh total: ₹10 lakh from one hospital, ₹2 lakh from the other. But here’s the real story: this wasn’t about money. It was about a system that lets children slip through the cracks while hospitals hide behind policies. The SC is now preparing national guidelines; not just for this case, but to stop it from happening again. Because no parent should beg for their child’s life while doctors look away.
