Lockdown on Care: When Hospitals Fail Their Own Standards The incident at First Referral Unit hospital in Faridabad's Sector 3 is a stark reminder of the healthcare system's deep seated problems.
A woman, Balesh, was forced to give birth in the hospital park under the faint light of a phone torch because the main gate was locked and no medical staff were available to assist her.
The hospital, which is supposed to be a model facility for rural areas, failed its patient in a moment when she needed care the most.
