A poor woman delivered baby in the washroom of a mosque after gynaecologists allegedly denied her treatment at the Jinnah Hospital “for not bringing test reports from a private lab of choice”.
Asifa Hammad was twice brought to the Jinnah Hospital but the gynaecologists refused to admit her without having her blood tests done from a ‘specified private laboratory’ located right in front of the Jinnah Hospital reported DawnToday.
Driver by profession, Hammad took his wife to the hospital around 2am on Thursday due to her serious condition. As the doctors denied her treatment, she gave birth to the baby in the washroom of the mosque on the premises of the health facility.
The incident once again exposed apathy of medical practitioners that has been one of the major factors behind poor healthcare delivery to people reported DawnToday.
