Husband mourns death of wife, unborn child while awaiting ambulance

When Maria Phora, 42, experienced labour pains, she was rushed to Philadelphia hospital more than 10km from their home in Mpheleng village on Sunday afternoon, December 22.“They told me they are waiting for an ambulance to transfer her to Polokwane hospital where she will be assisted to give birth through caesarean operation. They told me the baby didn't position properly and she cannot give natural birth.

“To my surprise on Monday, I visited the hospital on my way to Polokwane. My wife was still at Philadelphia hospital in pain,” Makhura said.

This is sad sad sad God help us

Health department is a crisis department itself

Just sad

Will never forget the documentary about the babies that died at Bara. Heartbreaking.

This is expected in 3rd world countries, unfortunately.

And of course government will not blink an eye in shame take no responsibility to this SA citizen for his loss. Condolences to the man and family for you loss remember who was responsible as government should be ashamed.

For the last 20 years we have been training doctors in South Africa and some even send to Cuba 🇨🇺. Still our hospital doesn’t have resident doctors, services are either centralized and ever detoriating. These should never ever ever happen. Condolences and RIP

OtpLimpopo This is so so sad. Since when C section is not done in a hospital 💔

Not shocked. Our public health system keeps sending citizens to their graves

This made me so sad.

Something is fishy here, a level 2 hospital that can't do C/S for a malpositioned baby?

Sue the fucken health department... no wonder this government don't take blacks seriously

ANC mashete a bona ba, sies

The lives of 'our people' are cheap in the right hands.

May their souls rest in peace this is sad

Tragic!

This is one of the worst things any human can experience. My condolences to their families. ☹️

😢😢😢 may their souls rest in peace

This is so sad.😥

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

😢😢😔

Sad

😓😔😟
