Police officers act as midwives

Today members of Putfontein police station assisted a woman to give birth while she was at the police station. The pregnant woman accompanied her husband to the police station. Whilst she was at police station she started complaining of labour pains. The woman was taken to the trauma centre at the police station.
Before the arrival of the requested ambulance, the members assisted the woman to give birth to a healthy little girl. The ambulance arrived soon afterwards and the mother and the new born baby were taken to hospital.
Putfontein Station Commander Lt Col Wellington Mathiane thanked the members for going beyond the call of duty in assisting the woman.
