Egyptian woman gives birth outside a hospital after being denied treatment | Egyptian Streets
Egypt’s minister of health ordered on Monday the suspension of the director of a hospital in Beheira which allegedly refused to admit a patient in labour.
Minister Adel El-Adawi also suspended the doctors at the Kafr al-Dawar hospital’s Obstetrics and Gynecology department, reported state television. He referred the director and the department doctors to the administrative prosecution for investigation.
A video of a woman who gave birth to her infant outside the Kafr al-Dawar hospital went viral this week. In the video, the woman’s husband is heard saying the hospital’s doctor who examined her said she “needs a caesarian section”.
“There, she is birthing naturally,” the husband says in the video.
The patient’s family accused the hospital’s administration of negligence.
