Doctors assist in childbirth over WhatsApp call in Keran, J&K
Overview
In a heartwarming incident, a pregnant woman with a history of labour complications gave birth to a baby girl with doctors assisting them via Whatsapp video call in the remote Keran PHC in Jammu and Kashmir.
The desperate attempt to save the woman and her child was taken after heavy snowfall blocked the only surface link connecting it to Kashmir which also made airlifting her impossible. Keran is a remote village in Kashmir’s Kupwara district.
Although the delivery was done with only the assistance of the professionals via video call and without proper maternity facilities at the Keran PHC (primary health centre), the baby came out healthy and the mother is doing fine as well.
