Thane/Hyderabad, Aug 13 (Maxim News): As many as 23 patients admitted at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa of Maharastra’s Thane district died in one night due to alleged overcrowding and insufficient doctors, officials said today. Among those dead, over a dozen patients were admitted to ICU, and several others in the general ward.
