Autos waiting for fuel.
Sri Lanka’s economic crisis is now life-threatening.
Some elderly people have died in the past waiting in line to buy fuel due to the economic crisis.
A two-day-old baby born in the Haldummulla area of the Badulla district died suddenly yesterday.
Following the sudden illness of the baby, the parents have tried to admit the baby to the hospital.
The two-day-old baby had a low blood sugar level due to the absence of breast milk.
In this case, the parents have tried to admit the baby to the hospital.
However, the baby could not be taken to the hospital in time.

The parents have been forced to take the baby as the three-wheeler (auto) does not have petrol. The search for petrol was delayed by up to an hour.
In this case, the baby was taken to Haldummulla Hospital, where he was taken by ambulance to Diyatalawa.
Shanaka Roshan Pathirana, forensic officer at Diyatalawa Hospital, posted a post on her Facebook page in connection with the death.

Doctor’s Facebook post
” My 86th autopsy at Diyatalawa Hospital. It was a painful death. The two-day-old baby girl turned yellow due to low breast milk intake. So the blood sugar level is low. ” ‘
” There was an hour’s delay in searching for petrol for my father’s three-wheeler to take him to Haldummulla Hospital. When I was taken to Haldummulla Hospital, my blood sugar level dropped to 22mg / dl. The baby was having difficulty breathing when Diyatala was brought to the hospital. The baby died at the Diyatalawa hospital. If it had not been for that one hour delay, the baby would have been saved. ”

“Only when something happens to a person can one realize that pain. The fact that the baby, who was carried in the womb for 9 months and kept in the lap for 2 days, died due to lack of a liter of petrol was a lifelong agony. There was also concern about cutting the corpse. It is the child who has developed all the organs in the best way. These politicians need to be struck by thunder. I later thought it would be better for this baby to be gone than to live in this bad country, “Shanaka Roshan, a forensic medical officer at Diyatalawa Hospital, posted on her Facebook page.

The people of Sri Lanka are facing various difficulties on a daily basis such as fuel shortages, drug shortages and rising food prices.
Under these circumstances, the infant died.
