A controversy has surfaced at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) after a video circulating on social media alleged that a baby was delivered in a hospital washroom due to doctors’ negligence.
The family of the patient claimed that doctors did not provide timely attention, which forced the delivery to take place in a washroom.
However, the hospital administration strongly denied the allegations and called them “baseless and contrary to facts.”
In an official statement, a JPMC spokesperson said the patient was brought to the Gynecology Emergency Ward, where her attendants allegedly misbehaved with doctors and continued recording videos during the situation.
The spokesperson said the attendants also insisted on a surgical operation, despite doctors advising against it. According to the hospital, the patient had initially been referred to JPMC for surgery, but after examination, doctors decided to proceed with a normal delivery.
“The patient safely delivered a baby boy in the labor room at 2:50 a.m., and both mother and child are in stable condition,” the spokesperson said.
Rejecting the claim that the delivery took place in a washroom, the JPMC spokesperson clarified that no such incident occurred. The hospital also said the patient was kept under observation after the delivery due to medical complications.
According to the spokesperson, the attendants again created a disturbance and later took the patient away from the hospital.
