Woman’s delivery in auto

A woman had her delivery in an autorickshaw on the hospital campus in absence of a ward boy to receive the patient.

Indore | A woman had her delivery in an autorickshaw on the hospital campus in absence of a ward boy to receive the patient. The woman was in extreme pain. However, when her auto reached the hospital there was no staff to receive her, alleged auto driver Madan Solanki. Wasting no time, Solanki drove the rickshaw into the hospital building where nurses and staff took the patient inside.

"I came to drop Asha Kadam, a resident of Damodar Nagar, to the hospital. She was having labour pain and there was no ward boy, so I had to drive the vehicle inside the hospital building," he said.

Hospital claimed no negligence on their part. Staff said the woman could not reach the hospital on time and the baby's head had already come out. As a result, the staff helped her in the delivery in the auto and later shifted her to the labour room.

"The 25-year-old woman had delayed reaching the hospital. The auto driver drove to the labour room after the staff helped the patient to deliver of her child in the vehicle to save time. Both mother and baby are safe and healthy," civil surgeon Dr Pradeep Goyal said.
