Mother delivers baby in ambulance after hospital refuses admission in Mainpuri
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a baby was delivered in an ambulance on Saturday on the way to a hospital after the mother was refused to get admitted in another hospital in Mainpuri.
The incident took place at "Sausaiya Matra Shishu Chikitshalaya," where the mother was refused admission due to the absence of the anaesthesiologist.
As per information received by the father of the baby, the hospital first stated that the delivery of the child couldn't be done normally due to some complications and said they needed to operate to deliver the baby. Later, it was stated that the anaesthesiologist was absent and the mother was referred to another hospital. On her way, she delivered the baby inside the ambulance.
"I came with my wife for delivery. They said that the delivery couldn't be done normally, and then I said that they do the operation for delivering the baby. Upon which they said that they could, as the anaesthesia doctor wasn't present and they referred to another hospital. On the way to the hospital, the baby was delivered in the ambulance," the father of the baby said.
