Woman Collapses in Active Labor at Addington Hospital, Durban – Video Surfaces
A heartbreaking incident has reportedly occurred at Addington Hospital, where a newborn baby has sadly passed away.
According to witnesses, the baby’s mother was in full labour when she pleaded for assistance from a nurse. However, it is alleged that the nurse responded arrogantly, instructing the mother to walk to the labour ward on her own.
Tragically, while the mother was still trying to make her way there, the baby was born and fell to the ground — losing its life instantly. 😢
Authorities are being urged to investigate the matter to ensure justice is served and that no other mother has to go through such a painful experience.
A video shared on social media shows a woman in active labor collapsing at Addington Hospital in Durban, South Africa, after a nurse reportedly instructed her to walk to the labor ward, leading to the infant’s birth and death on the floor. The incident, circulating widely on X since early Friday, has prompted public demands for criminal charges against the nurse and deregistration by the South African Nursing Council, with users sharing stories of similar mistreatment in public hospitals. As of October 18, 2025, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health has not issued any response, highlighting ongoing concerns in South Africa’s overburdened healthcare system.
