Sir: A woman gave birth to a child on the ground after medical staff allegedly refused to admit her to kot Addu hospital. The relatives of the woman said that they brought the patient to the medical facility after she went into labour. However, instead of admitting her, the staff and doctors asked her to leave. “She was suffering from labour pains but the hospital staff refused to admit her,” they alleged. “We had no other option but to lay her on the hospital ground where she gave birth to a baby,” said the woman’s relatives.
The woman’s husband Abdul Sattar, a resident of Laal Garh, said that he brought his pregnant wife Haseena Bibi for delivery to the hospital and could not get her admitted due to the unavailability of an emergency entrance token, leaving Haseena Bibi to lie on the ground from 3pm to 6pm in excruciation pain. Thus, the Punjab Government should conduct an inquiry into the matter and the family also demanded punishment for those responsible.
