BARISHAL: A newborn has been rescued from the sewerage pipe of Barishal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital after her mother gave birth in a toilet of the maternity ward, the hospital’s director said on Sunday, reports UNB.
The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when Shilpi Begum accidentally delivered the baby girl on a high commode of the toilet.
He said, “I went out to bring some medicines after the doctor decided to conduct a c section surgery for delivering the baby. As I returned, I saw people crowding around the toilet and my relatives crying.”
“They described to me the whole incident. I could hear my baby crying from
inside the pipe but was unable to bring her out,” he said.
The hospital immediately informed the nearby Fire Service office to rescue the baby. But before they arrived Neyamat broke the pipe on the second floor of the hospital building and rescued the baby who suffered slight bruises.
Baby’s mother Shilpi said she didn’t realise when she gave birth due to severe labour pain.
