Newborn rescued by EMT

A newborn baby girl was found abandoned in a garbage bin in Ahmedabad today and was saved by an alert passerby and a prompt 108 ambulance service.

Emergency medical technician (EMT) Manisha Makwana at the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital received an urgent call reporting that a newborn baby had been left in a garbage bin near the Naroda bus stand.

Acting promptly, a 108 Ambulance service arrived at the spot within five to six minutes. Upon reaching the site, the ambulance personnel discovered a one-day-old baby girl with bruises on her face. The team provided treatment on the spot, and administered oxygen before rushing the infant to the 1,200-bed hospital.

The latest reports confirm that the baby girl is stable after receiving necessary medical care. EMT Makwana, treating the child, ensured the baby received life-saving attention. Now, the girl is in the hands of dedicated nurses at the hospital, receiving the care she deserves.

Hospital sources shared, “The baby was discovered crying in the garbage bin, and a resident, upon hearing the cries, pulled her out and promptly called the 108 Ambulance service. The child was transferred to Asarwa Civil Hospital for further treatment. Authorities have since registered a case against an unknown person for abandoning the infant, and police action is underway to identify the culprit.” The matter is now under investigation.

In February 2024, a couple, a doctor, and three others were arrested by the Surat Police for allegedly abandoning their newborn grandchild, a girl, at the doorstep of an orphanage in Katargam. The case came to light after the newborn passed away at New Civil Hospital.
