Pregnant woman forced to deliver on hospital floor in Haridwar, doctor terminated after viral video
Haridwar: A shocking incident has emerged from Haridwar, Uttarakhand, where a pregnant woman was forced to deliver her child on the floor of a women’s hospital after allegedly being denied admission and medical care.
According to the family, the woman, who belongs to a poor background, arrived at the hospital around 9:30 pm on Tuesday with severe labour pains. However, the on-duty doctor reportedly refused to admit her, claiming that deliveries were not conducted at the facility.
With no medical support, the woman endured hours of pain and eventually gave birth around 1:30 am in full public view. A video of the ordeal, showing the woman screaming on the ground while only an elderly relative tried to help, has since gone viral, sparking outrage on social media.
Relatives alleged that after the delivery, a nurse mocked the woman, saying, “Mazaa aaya? Aur baccha paida karegi?” They demanded strict action against the hospital staff, questioning who would have been responsible if the baby’s life had been endangered.
Haridwar Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. R.K. Singh confirmed that an inquiry has been initiated. He said, “A preliminary report has been taken, and we are awaiting a detailed version. The authenticity of the viral video is being verified. If negligence is confirmed, strict action will be taken.”
Authorities have already terminated the contractual doctor on night duty, identified as Dr. Sonali. Two nurses present at the time have also been served official notices for their alleged roles in the incident.
