Srinagar: On Thursday, March 21, 2023, earthquake tremors were felt in India. During that time, a baby was coming into the world in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag hospital.
A video shared on Twitter shows how the doctor and staff kept their nerves and delivered a baby while the room shook and the lights went off. The baby was born through a lower-segment Cesarean section.
It is commendable that the doctors at Anantnag hospital performed a delivery amid tremors. Earthquakes and tremors can be incredibly stressful and scary, especially in a hospital with fragile equipment and patients.
A video has been tweeted by the district’s Chief Medical Officer stating, “Emergency LSCS was going on at SDH Bijbehara Anantnag during which strong tremors of Earthquake were felt.”
The tweet also said, “Kudos to staff of SDH Bijbehara who conducted the LSCS smoothly & Thank God, everything is Alright.”
