In a recent case of medical negligence, a woman from Kerala had to be carried by villagers for miles to reach the hospital for delivery, as there was no ambulance in the hospital. In a similar case, a pregnant woman from Kotauratla village in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam district was carried to a hospital on a makeshift cloth stretcher by her relatives on Saturday as an ambulance allegedly could not come to pick her up due to bad road connectivity.

After the pregnant woman got labour pains on Friday, her relatives dialled 108 for an ambulance since the nearest hospital was 10 kilometres away. When the service denied their request due to poor connectivity, her relatives carried her on foot on a makeshift cloth stretcher for 6 km and the rest 4 km was covered in an auto-rickshaw, reported ANI.Click Here: Cheap Chiefs Rugby Jersey 2019
