Delta Woman In Labour Falls Off Hospital Bed, Dies

A pregnant woman in labour has reportedly died in the General Hospital, Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State after she fell off the delivery bed while she was unattended to.

The nurses on duty who were supposed to have attended to her were reportedly asleep when the incident happened to the lady who was about to give birth for the first time.

Sources disclosed that the lady was brought in late at night after she went into labour.

The lady who accompanied her to the hospital was said to have gone away for some time to get some additional delivery materials when the incident happened.

She returned to meet the woman who was in labour on the floor dead after apparently falling off the bed. The nurses who were supposed to have been attending to her were meanwhile fast asleep.

The hospital management and the Delta State Government were yet to respond to the agonizing development as at press time.

Meanwhile, the Delta Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Mr Lawrence Ejiofor, has applauded the construction of a Leisure Park and Film Village in Asaba, describing the project as people-centred.

The commissioner, whose ministry oversees the project, stated this when the State House of Assembly Committee on Arts, Culture and Tourism inspected the project on Thursday in Asaba.

He assured the committee that Delta was on the right track with the state-of-the-art project, adding that the project would be delivered in December.

Ejiofor also stated that several other professionals were being consulted to ensure its sustainability.
