SAJAWAL: A woman in labour delivered her child in a nearby shrine because the on-duty hospital doctor was absent, which demonstrates an abysmal state of public medical facilities across Sindh.
According to details, the pregnant woman visited a public hospital in Mirpur Bhatoro, however, upon finding out there was no lady doctor, the lady, unable to afford an alternative, had to deliver her child within the premises of a nearby shrine.
The woman’s family, in this regard, informed that when they turned to a private hospital after they were betrayed by the government, the private clinic demanded advance payment, and thus, the family of the woman went to collect it.
However, the family members failed to pay the required money within the time, the private clinic lady doctor escorted the hapless lady in labor out of her clinic. The woman as she inched near her delivery found no respite, she found herself unaided and delivered her baby in the shrine’s premises.
After her delivery was concluded, according to a government spokesperson, a Sindh Peoples’ ambulance reached the spot and administered her and her child first aid.
