In a Pune hospital, it pays to have a baby girl
Over the last one year, Dr Ganesh Rakh has seen 144 girls born at the 20-bed multispeciality hospital he owns in Pune. Their parents were not charged a penny for the deliveries. The 40-year-old gynaecologist says it's his contribution to fighting female foeticide in Maharashtra, a state where the sex ratio is lower than the national average of 914 girls for every 1,000 boys.
