Immediate special ward created at hospital for natural and safe delivery of covid positive patient at Motafofaliya Covid Care Center

There is a saying in Gujarati that, be careful with time. This saying has been vindicated by the vigilant doctors of the state's first community health center, which operates under public-private partnership in Motafofliya village of Shinor taluka.

A 100-bed covid care center has been started in Mota Fofaliya of Shinor taluka in collaboration with the district administration and Shakti Kripa Charitable Trust. A pregnant woman from Midhol village, was admitted to the Covid Care Center two days ago after she tested positive.

She was suffering from labor pains and shifted to a special ward at C.A. Patel Hospital and Community Health Center, where a successful delivery was performed by gynecologists and staff. Currently the health of mother and baby is good and happiness spread in the family.

This is probably the first case of a pregnant mother infected with Covid 19 in this hospital with complete management at the village level in Shinor taluka, where doctors and staff have successfully delivered a pregnant mother without fear of corona.

Archana Patanwadia of Midhol village, who was infected with Covid was admitted to Care Center in Motafofliya of Shinor taluka two days ago. The woman was nine months pregnant.

As per the advice of gynecologist Rinku Chowtiya of Shri CA Patel Hospital and Community Health Center managed by Shakti Kripa Charitable Trust, the pregnant mother was admitted in the special ward of the hospital after the labor pain.

Following the prescribed Covid 19 protocol and under the guidance and full care by gynecologist, she has given birth to a baby girl after a normal delivery. The mother and child are in good health and are currently receiving treatment by monitoring viral and medical services in a special ward with Covid 19 care.

In this Corona time, large urban hospitals refused to deliver corona-positive pregnancies and only government hospitals in Vadodara had special arrangements. At that time, considering the precision of the situation by a rural health center, the life of mother and child, including the doctor involved in the work deserves to be thanked.
