A pregnant woman in labour has reportedly fallen off her bed and died. The nurses monitoring her were said to be asleep when the incident happened.

The deceased, Ann fell off a hospital bed in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State while she was in labour.



She was rushed to the hospital after she began feeling labour pains in the night, a report monitored on Punch revealed.

However, the nurses on duty slept off after the lady’s guardian went home to get some items for the mother and child.


The guardian returned from the hospital to find the deceased on the floor dead while the nurses were asleep.

A video recording making the rounds in Delta state shows the deceased lying on the ground while the person making the video condemned the action of the medical personnel in the hospital.

Complacency, poor working environment and poor facilities are the bane of our health system

This is Nigeria when some have work but are too lazy to get the job done... We are just selfish.. All we care about is our pockets. No be today we don know say life no get meaning to the majority of our health workers in this country.

What a sad news .There are so many cheap ways to die in Nigeria,this is just one of them. These nurses on duty will also blame buhari,but they have failed in carrying out their responsibilities.These health officers should be given query and sanctioned appropriately by their professional body.may God comfort the bereaved

Too bad

This would be a good case to make huge money if this incidence was to be in the United States.

The deceased husband/family would sue the hospital for negligence leading to death while the board revokes the nurse's practing license.

This is a bad omen.

What sort of health workers do we have in this country that don't value life?

Their attitude towards a job that requires seriouness and dilligence in such life and death situations is zero most of the time that sometimes you're forced to think some of them are possesed.

So sad.

Hmmn, sad one.

Bad
