In Jammu and Kashmir’s remote snow-capped region of Keran, doctors helped a pregnant woman deliver over a WhatsApp call. Due to snowfall, it was difficult for the family to take this woman to the hospital by helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kralpura’s block medical officer Dr Mir Mohammad Shafi said that on Friday night, they received a patient suffering from labor pain at the Keran PHC (primary health centre). He told that she was suffering from many complex health problems during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A helicopter was needed to take the woman to a hospital with maternity facilities as Keran is cut off from the rest of Kupwara district by road during winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incessant snowfall on Thursday and Friday prevented the authorities from arranging helicopters, forcing medical workers at the Keran PHC to seek alternative means to assist in the delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Parvez, an obstetrician posted at Kralpura sub-district hospital, told Dr. Arshad Sofi and his staff at Keran PHC about the process of giving birth to a child over a WhatsApp call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Shafi said that the woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl after six hours. Presently both mother and child are under the supervision of doctors and are fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
