Gurugram: Pregnant woman made to wait for 2 hours, foetus aborted in toilet
Gurugram: Pregnant woman wait for 2 hours, foetus aborted in toilet. A six-month pregnant woman had to abort her foetus in the toilet of the civil hospital in Gurgaon after waiting for a medical check-up for more than two hours, an official statement said. Sunita visited the hospital on Thursday where she was made to wait for hours, leading to pain in her abdomen, her husband Govind Kumar said. When she went to the toilet for urinal, the foetus was aborted there, Kumar said. "She had complained about abdominal pain, and I and my mother suggested her to go to toilet for urinal. She went into the toilet - which was very dark - and came out bleeding," he added. Sunita was so scared about the bleeding that she did not realise her foetus was aborted in the toilet. It was later found by one of the staffers, who informed the hospital administration. The hospital's Principal Medical Officer Pradeep Sharma confirmed the incident. "When we learnt about the incident... We looked for the woman and admitted her in the gynaecology ward to avoid any infection," he said. "It is hard to believe that woman delivered the foetus in toilet and she did not know about it," the officer added. -PTC News
