A 102 ambulance crew in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh, delivered a baby boy en route to CHC Sarsai Nawar; the mother and newborn are reported healthy.
A pregnant woman gave birth to a boy inside a 102 ambulance in Etawah district, Uttar Pradesh, before the vehicle could reach the Community Health Centre (CHC) at Sarsai Nawar, Amar Ujala reported on 26 October.
The woman, from a village in the Takha area, developed sudden labour pain. As the pain grew stronger on the way, the ambulance's emergency medical technician (EMT) delivered the baby safely inside the vehicle, according to the report.
Mother and child were then admitted to CHC Sarsai Nawar. The CHC superintendent, Dr Shyam Mohan Yadav, said both are healthy. The family praised the crew for acting promptly and thanked them.
The report does not give the time of the call, the departure or the birth.
Why it matters for ambulance owners and drivers
- The case shows the role trained EMTs play on the 102 service, which carries pregnant women to health centres.
- Crews on such services may have to handle deliveries on the road, so trained staff on board matter.
