Gurugram: In relation to the demise of a newborn after a woman was forced to deliver in an ambulance, three doctors attached to Civil Hospital had been suspended.
As per the media reports, Sonia and her husband, Jaidev reached the hospital on Wednesday around 6:30 a.m. for the delivery but the staff allegedly told them to wait for their turn. The woman went into labour a few minutes later.
The two doctors who were on OPD duty observed that she was fully dilated and the child was popping in and out, which indicated she was due any moment, but instead of providing her medical aid referred her to Safdarjung Hospital around 9.25am.
