Mahakumbh Sees First Births at Central Hospital
Mahakumbhnagar: The Central Hospital in Mahakumbhnagar has begun providing critical healthcare services ahead of the official commencement of Mahakumbh. On Monday, the hospital successfully facilitated the delivery of a baby girl, marking the second consecutive day of deliveries.
The newborn, named ‘Ganga’ by the hospital and the family, holds special significance as the first female infant born at the hospital during Mahakumbh. The delivery was carried out by a team of doctors led by Dr. Gaurav Dubey.
On Sunday, Dr. Dubey’s team also oversaw the delivery of the first baby boy born during Mahakumbh, who was named ‘Kumbh’. The baby boy was born to Sonam, a 20-year-old woman from Kaushambi, who had arrived at the hospital with her husband Raja after experiencing severe labor pain.
According to Dr. Dubey, the baby girl ‘Ganga’ was born at 12:08 pm on Monday, weighing 2.8 kg, and both mother and child are in good health. The parents, Shivkumari and Rajel, residents of Banda district, consider the birth of their daughter in Mahakumbh a blessing from Mother Ganga.
The Central Hospital, established in the Parade area of the Mela area, has been operational for several days and is well-equipped with facilities ranging from general wards and a delivery center to an ICU and OPD services. A significant number of patients have already begun availing themselves of these services.
The Yogi government has implemented extensive health facilities in the region in anticipation of the arrival of millions of people for Mahakumbh.
