SANGHAR: A woman gave birth to a baby outside Civil Hospital, Sanghar, on Thursday night.

The woman, identified as Lakshmi Bheel, was brought to the hospital from Bheeru Mal village. However, the doctors referred the family to a private hospital.

Bheel's father, Mir Khan, said the security staff at the hospital misbehaved with Bheel and pushed her to leave the hospital, forcing her to give birth to the baby outside the hospital premises. The woman and her baby were later admitted to the hospital.

A nurse at the hospital stated that Bheel had been very weak and the hospital had no blood bank.  However, she denied that Bheel had given birth outside the hospital.
