MUZAFFARGARH: A woman gave birth to a baby in the corridor of the Kot Addu THQ hospital when doctors allegedly denied her admission.

The family of Sughran Bibi alleged they brought her to the hospital where the gynaecologist on duty refused to admit her. The woman gave birth to the newborn in a corridor. The hospital staff claims they admitted Sughra Bibi to the hospital and she herself went out of the room soon after the baby was born.

DC Qaiser Saleem ordered an inquiry and said he would not spare the doctors if they were found guilty of negligence.
