Woman Delivers Outside Health Center Due to Locked Facility
A woman in India had to give birth outside a clinic because it was locked.
Her family went to the clinic when she went into labor, but the building was closed.
They called the nurse, but she took some time to arrive.
The baby was born outside.
The nurse then helped move the mother and baby inside for care.
The health department is now planning to have the nurse live closer to the clinic so this doesn't happen again.
Both the mom and baby are doing fine.
A 28-year-old woman delivered a baby outside a locked health center.
The incident occurred at an Additional Primary Health Centre in Bijpur, Uttar Pradesh.
The woman's family alleged the on-duty nurse was delayed.
The mother and baby are reported to be safe after receiving medical care.
The health department plans to provide accommodation for the nurse near the center.
