Health Workers Carry Pregnant Woman Through Floodwaters for Delivery
There was a big flood in a village.
A lady named Anita was about to have her baby, but her house was far from the hospital, and the water was too high to cross.
Brave helpers from the ambulance and health workers came.
They carefully carried Anita across the rushing water to a nearby clinic so her baby could be born safely.
Even though it was scary, they made sure she got the help she needed.
Sometimes, people are afraid to go to the hospital, but this shows why it's important to get medical help when you need it, especially during bad weather.
Health workers carried a pregnant woman, Sakeri Anita, through a flooded stream in ASR district.
The incident occurred in Sisam Gondi village while crossing the Kosanguda stream.
Emergency services 104 and 108, along with an ASHA worker, were involved in the rescue.
