Hospital turned away; UP woman delivers at gates; baby dies

Budaun: In Uttar Pradesh, a hospital refused to admit a pregnant woman to deliver because she had no money to pay the fees. She delivered the baby at the hospital gates, and the baby died shortly after the birth, PTI reported.

Budaun District Magistrate Manoj Kumar said on Sunday that an investigation has been ordered into the matter.

According to the family of the woman, Neelam, a resident of Kabulpura locality here, they took her to the District Women's Hospital after her labour pain started on Saturday evening.

Neelam's husband Ravi claimed no doctor was available in the hospital and the staff there refused to admit his wife. After an argument, the hospital staff asked her to pay ₹ 5,000 for tests, he alleged.

Ravi alleged that when he and his wife expressed their inability to pay the money, the hospital staff "pushed" them out.

By the time the family reached the hospital gate, Neelam was in extreme pain and delivered the baby there. The baby died soon after due to lack of treatment and cold weather, he said.

District Magistrate Manoj Kumar said the city magistrate has been asked to probe the incident.

"This is a very serious matter. Such negligence cannot be forgiven under any circumstances," he said.

The hospital staff "mistreated" the woman by refusing to admit her. The city magistrate has been instructed to investigate the incident and submit a report in three days, he said.

The district magistrate informed that strict action would be taken against the guilty based on the report.
