On Friday, a pregnant woman in Paradangaguda village, located within the Chancher panchayat of Bhawanipatna Sadar block in Kalahandi district, had to undergo a difficult journey to reach the hospital. Despite experiencing labor pains, Mande Majhi, wife of Libri Majhi, was unable to receive timely medical assistance as the 108 ambulance failed to reach her village due to the lack of a motorable road.
As her family members called for the ambulance, Mande's hopes for a smooth delivery were shattered when she learned that the vehicle was unable to reach her village and had stopped 4 kilometers away at Gudanga. With no other options in sight, the pregnant woman had to make the long and arduous journey on foot with the assistance of her family members and the local ASHA worker.
After walking for 4 kilometers, Mande finally reached Gudanga where the ambulance was waiting for her. She was then transported to the district headquarters hospital in Bhawanipatna, where she gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the afternoon. However, the incident has raised concerns among the locals, especially with the upcoming polls scheduled for May 13. Many are questioning the effectiveness of various government projects in the area, given the dire situation faced by Mande and her family.
It is disheartening to see that a pregnant woman had to endure such a difficult journey to receive medical care due to the lack of proper infrastructure. This incident highlights the urgent need for better roads and transportation facilities in remote areas, especially for emergency situations like this. We can only hope that this unfortunate incident serves as a wake-up call for the authorities to take action and improve the living conditions of the people in this region.
