Woman delivers at hospital gate, Medical Superintendent Resigns

Subsequent to the incident, the women, who helped during labour, protested against the hospital authorities. However, the authorities denied the said allegations and shifted the blame to the ambulance driver and his assistant stating that they were not carrying the stretcher which is strictly mandatory.

"We looked into the CCTV footage after the case came to our knowledge. We immediately marked an inquiry and thoroughly investigated the matter. We found a major lapse on the part of the ambulance driver and his assistant. As per rules, they were supposed to drop the patient at the door of the labour room and inform doctors. They were also supposed to carry a stretcher with their ambulance, but they did not have it,” the Medical superintendent, Dr B S Brar, stated to TOI, earlier from his resignation.

“We have written to the higher authorities about the fault and also the poor working of the 108 ambulances in the district. The mother and the baby are fine now. Action will be taken against each and every person, who is found to be guilty," he added.
