A one-day old baby died from pneumonia after his mother waited three days to be seen by an obstetrician after her waters broke, a coroner said.

Aayam Chongbang was delivered by Caesarean at Medway Maritime Hospital in Kent on 2 August, 2022, but died the following day.

At an inquest into his death, coroner Catherine Wood said staff shortages significantly impacted the service the hospital trust was able to provide.
