Arita Sarkar arita. sarkar@ mid- day. com VICTIMS of mishaps in civic hospitals, like two- month- old Prince Rajbhar, who died of burn injuries sustained in a fire at KEM hospital, may soon get compensation from insurance companies. The cash- strapped civic body is planning to invest in a health insurance policy to fund compensation for such victims and those of negligence in its hospitals.

Rajbhar sustained severe burns in the fire that broke out in the ICU and succumbed to his injuries on November 22, 2019.
