Health workers help deliver twins on ambulance boat


IPOH: An ambulance boat ride is a routine matter for nurse-midwife Nur Shaffriza Mohd Shaffril when she visits expectant mothers in the Pos Kemar Orang Asli settlement – though she never expected to help deliver a baby, let alone twins, on board the vessel.

On Saturday (Jan 15) morning, Nur Shaffriza, who is attached to Pos Kemar Clinic, visited the mother at her house in the settlement when the 31-year-old woman started having labour pains.
