BHOPAL: A malnourished four-month-old boy, Hussain Raza's, death at Satna district hospital has once again raised questions over Madhya Pradesh's health system, a crisis which refuses to die.

Hussain, who is the latest victim of malnutrition in the state, was hardly two and a half kilograms during his birth, while a healthy child of his age should weigh at least five, according to doctors at Satna district hospital.

A disturbing photograph of the victim surfaced on social media showing Hussain’s skin stretched over bones, sunken eyes, and lips that had long lost their colour.

The heartwrenching video shows a story of neglect that no statistic can soften.
