The Mumbai hospital stepped up when every other hospital in the city was turning away Covid positive pregnant women. This is the story of a remarkable effort made by a brave team of doctors and nurses
The middle-aged man was on the verge of breaking down. Seven hospitals had refused to admit his pregnant wife because she was Covid-19 positive. Crucial time had been lost - time that should have been used to put her on a ventilator to stabilise her plummeting oxygen saturation levels. Twenty-four hours later, despite all efforts by doctors at B Y L Nair Hospital in Mumbai’s Parel, the woman died. The baby could not be saved either because a caesarian was not possible with the acute respiratory distress the mother was in.
