The woman had failed to reach the hospital in time due to the lack of boats from her water village in Pulau Gaya.
KOTA KINABALU, April 16 — A woman gave birth at a waterfront here after failing to reach the hospital in time due to the lack of boats from her water village in Pulau Gaya.
“She told them she was experiencing pain and her family rushed her to the island’s jetty but it took time to hail a speedboat as the island is currently under restricted movement due to the movement control order . Habibi said the baby’s head started to show as Pahmah lied on the ground under the watch of her sister and Halilih.“Minutes later after the baby girl was born, the ambulance arrived and performed emergency medical care before taking both the mother and the baby to the women and children’s hospital,” he told reporters.
