The department indicated, in a clarification, that the management of the Moulay Abdallah hospital in Salé recorded “no passage” of a woman who gave birth on board a tram train in Rabat.
As soon as informed, the ministry immediately opened an investigation in order to elucidate the circumstances linked to this incident, indicates the department, adding that after checking reception registers, viewing recordings from surveillance cameras and collecting testimonies from security agents, “no passage of the person concerned was noted” by the hospital management nor by the medical team on duty.
Information collected on the ground reveals that the woman showed signs of labor while she was on board the tram in Rabat, where she suffered a serious hemorrhage requiring the immediate intervention of Civil Protection teams, the same source said.
