GURUGRAM: Health officers have prompt General Hospital, Civil Lines, not to refer patients and newborns from gyneacology and pediatrics wing to other hospitals, after three instances of negligence in turning in small children inside 5 days. Notably, over 1,100 patients from the clinic’s gynecology ward have been referred to Delhi’s Safdarjung clinic in 2017. However, this tendency of docs has led to three emabarassing emergency scenarios in a week, this February.

On February 9, a 25-year-old woman delivered a toddler lady outside the gate of the emergency ward in General Hospital, Civil Lines. The woman used to be requested to get an ultrasound executed in spite of being in labour. For the ultrasound check, she used to be requested to produce her Aadhar card, which she used to be no longer wearing. This ended in prolong and he or she delivered a toddler lady within the open courtyard close to the cycle stand.


The very subsequent day, a toddler boy used to be delivered within the clinic at round 10am. However, the docs and nurses within the operation theatre overpassed the bodily deformity within the child. As per rule, they are intended to habits an intensive bodily examination sooner than handing over the child to attendants. At round 1:30pm, the infant started crying due to discomfort and it used to be revealed that his ears have been lopsided. The docs referred the infant to Delhi’s Safdarjung clinic, the place it used to be revealed he also had heart problems. He is recently present process treatment.


On February 14, a 23-year pregnant woman delivered a toddler in an ambulance. The woman used to be infected with Hepatitis B. As per govt guidelines, the sort of woman will have to always get a cesarean to chop down transmission of infection from the mum to the kid. The woman had arrived at General Hospital with labour pain but to steer clear of the procedure, the doctor on duty referred her to Delhi. She used to be on her method when she delivered a boy close to Rajokri at round 5:50am. Salman, an emergency scientific technician, and Rajvir, the motive force within the ambulance, helped within the supply. Besides the discomfort she skilled and the risks due to supply in an ambulance, the woman also ended up having a normal supply.


In all three instances, the pregnant ladies and newborns have been fortunate to live to tell the tale.

A health care provider and nurse will probably be stationed there at all hours to receive them. They will probably be taken to wards involved and put beneath the care of docs, relying on their well being situation. Also, a newborn will probably be handed over to attendants handiest after the infant has been totally examined. The boy who used to be referred to Delhi is now being registered beneath the early intervention programme and his scientific bills will probably be borne via the well being division,” said Dr Rajora.
