Baby delivered on roadside in Uvongo

Paramedics helped a woman give birth to a beautiful boy.

A little boy decided it was time to enter the world, and unexpectedly left his mother with no option, but to give birth on the roadside in Uvongo on Thursday, October 27.
Med-Evac responded and assisted the woman, who gave birth on the roadside.
“It all happened so fast,” said Glen Preston of Med-Evac.
“Both mother and child are well, and were transported to an appropriate medical facility.”
