Woman delivers dead baby on hospital floor, family blames doctors

In a distressing case of medical apathy, a woman from Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich city delivered a baby on the floor of the district hospital after allegedly being not attended by the hospital staff on time. The victim identified as Sarita Tripathi, who lives in Shankarpur in Bahraich city was forced to deliver a baby on the hospital floor as the doctors failed to reach on time.

According to Times Now News, this shocking incident took place on Wednesday when the family members took the woman to the hospital after she complained of labour pain. The paperwork took a long time, and eventually resulted in the intensified labour pain of the woman as time passed.

Further ANI news agency reports that, Sarita was then forced to deliver a baby on the hospital floor as the doctors failed to reach on time. The family reportedly claim that the baby was born dead because of the negligence of the doctors and staff members of the hospital. However, doctors claim that the baby was delivered before they could take the woman to the labour room.

"Woman's family was late in bringing her to the hospital, the baby was born dead because they were late and baby came out before we could shift her to the labour room," a doctor was quoted by ANI. Following this, the family members of the woman got agitated and alleged that due to the negligence of the district hospital, such tragic incident took place.
