Ha Giang mother gives birth in forest
A mother in the remote mountainous province of Ha Giang gave birth to her baby on the edge of a forest on March 9 as she had trouble reaching the hospital in time.
According to Dr Nguyen Ngoc Chung, director of Bac Me General Hospital, after receiving the call about Sang's situation, Dr Ly Duc Hung, head of the obstetrics department, and nurse Nguyen Thi Man drove by motorbike to the mother. When they reached the site two kilometres from the hospital, the mother had already gave birth to a baby girl, weighing 3 kilos.
Sang and her daughter were then taken care of and sent to the hospital when the ambulance came.
Hung said at that time, the ambulance was in use so he and the nurse had to use the motorbike.
"Luckily, when we arrived, the baby had just come out. Other people nearby didn't know what to do and the mother didn't bring anything with her. After taking care of the mother and child, we called the ambulance," he said.
In January, Hung was involved in an incident where a mother fell down a slope while travelling to hospital. The doctors were able to reach the site in time and delivered the baby.
