In a remote Telangana hamlet, a pregnant woman was carried on a bullock cart to a nearby health facility after an ambulance failed to arrive on time. The incident highlights challenges in rural emergency medical services.

In the early hours of Tuesday, residents of a small hamlet in Telangana reported that an ambulance dispatched to a pregnant woman’s home could not reach the village in time. The woman, who was in the late stages of pregnancy, was instead carried on a bullock cart by local villagers to the nearest primary health centre.

Medical staff at the health centre confirmed that the patient was stable upon arrival and received immediate care. Authorities are investigating the delay, citing poor road conditions and lack of proper communication between the ambulance service and the village.

The incident has drawn attention to the need for better emergency response infrastructure in rural Telangana. Local leaders have called for faster ambulance deployment and improved road maintenance to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
