Woman delivers at hospital gate, Medical Superintendent Resigns
Patiala: The medical superintendent of the Government Rajindra Hospital has reportedly resigned following the demand from Chief Minister. The issue developed after the hospital authorities were blamed for not taking the patient inside the labour room.
According to a recent media report, the incident happened on July 29, when a pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital by 108 ambulance service for delivery. She was experiencing painful contractions, but instead of dropping her at the labour room and informing the doctors about it, the ambulance driver dropped her at the gate of the emergency ward.
She and her husband asked the security guards and others for help and to provide her a stretcher, but to no avail, the husband himself went upstairs to the labour room to get a stretcher.
Later, the pregnant woman cried and lied down on the floor following which several women gathered around for help and delivered the baby. Then, only after when an assistant professor came forward, she was taken inside the maternity ward, along with her newborn baby.
