KARACHI: An inquiry committee formed to investigate reports that a pregnant woman gave birth to a child in a Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) washroom has concluded that the delivery took place in a toilet and blamed officials concerned for not properly assessing or monitoring her after she arrived at the hospital in labour.
Last week, videos went viral on social media claiming that a woman gave birth to a child in a JPMC washroom. However, the hospital administration denied the allegations. Later, a three-member inquiry committee was formed to investigate the childbirth incident.
