In a troubling incident in Vidisha district, a woman named Bharti gave birth to a baby girl at the Ahmedpur Health Centre's gate on Sunday night. Bharti's family had taken her to the health centre by ambulance after she went into labor, but upon arrival, they discovered the main entrance locked. The watchman only opened the gate after being pressured by the villagers.
Despite the gate being opened, no doctor or nursing staff were available to attend to Bharti. She eventually delivered the baby girl near the gate. The villagers lodged a complaint on the 181 helpline following the incident. The mother and newborn were subsequently shifted by ambulance to the Vidisha District Hospital. Villagers have accused the health facility of lacking regular availability of doctors and nursing staff, especially during nighttime hours.
Health officials have directed the block medical officer to investigate the matter and have reportedly issued a notice to the nursing staff.
