Woman gives birth on roadside near National Stadium Karachi.
A woman delivered her child on the roadside near the National Stadium, drawing attention to the urgent need for accessible healthcare services and compassionate treatment for expecting mothers.
According to initial reports, officials from the anti-encroachment department swiftly intervened and transported the woman and her newborn to a nearby hospital.
However, as of now, there have been no updates regarding the health status of the mother and her baby.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of a similar occurrence that transpired in 2018 when a woman named Shabana Riaz was denied treatment at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Lahore due to the lack of a hospital card.
Despite experiencing labor pains, Riaz was refused entry into the labor room, compelling her to give birth to her baby boy on the hospital stairs.
The distressing situation worsened as the hospital staff failed to provide immediate medical attention to the newborn, resulting in complications when he began to exhibit breathing difficulties.
As a woman gives birth on roadside near National Stadium Karachi, these instances shed light on the pressing need for comprehensive reforms within the healthcare system, ensuring that all individuals, especially expecting mothers, receive timely and equitable medical care, regardless of bureaucratic obstacles or circumstances.
