Quarantined pregnant women in quandary

COVID-19 quarantine centres around the country have posed a dilemma to pregnant women as most of them are not equipped to cater for people in that condition.

Isolation centres in the country are not only situated at health institutions, but other converted facilities which reportedly have no medical equipment except ablution facilities and beds to cater for pregnant women.

Even those at health institutions are reportedly ill-equipped to cater for pregnant women in the event of complications as they do not have theatres or oxygen.
