Woman refused admittance to hospital gives birth outside it
October 17, 2017
Initial investigation conducted by the hospital suggests that a lady health worker refused Sameera Bibi — who was experiencing severe labour pains — any medical help because “there were no doctors available at the hospital in the early hours of the morning.”
Bystanders at the scene told DawnNews that no Rescue 1122 ambulances were available at the hospital, one had to be called to the scene and by the time it arrived the child had already been born.
When contacted, Punjab Minister for Health Khawaja Imran Nazir told Dawn that the provincial ministry had ordered an inquiry into the matter.

(Punjab is a state bordering Pakistan and is the heart of India’s Sikh community. Despite bystanders were unable to get a ‘Rescue 1122 ambulance’, India has sent hundreds of ambulances to Sri Lanka. How concerned Indian government is regarding health in Sri Lanka!)
