YANBU: A Saudi woman in Yanbu was allegedly forced to give birth to her baby in the corridor of the Royal Commission Hospital in Yanbu when medical staff refused to admit her because they said there was no vacant bed. The hospital administration did not answer any telephone calls from Okaz/Saudi Gazette to get their version on the incident. The hospital had been sent a copy of the complaint lodged by the woman's husband. The officials at the medical center also did not respond to calls. Ibrahim Al-Anezi, the woman's husband, said his wife was in a critical state when he rushed her to the hospital. He said her condition worsened because of the labor pains. Al-Anezi said that when the medical staff refused to admit his wife, she had no choice but to deliver her baby in the corridor in full view of patients and members of the public. He said the health of his wife and their baby boy were threatened because of the incident. Al-Anezi said he was astonished that the hospital staff managed to provide his wife with a vacant bed only after she delivered in the corridor. He said the incident had also caused embarrassment to him and his wife.
