An off-duty ER24 paramedic was called to assist one of her neighbours who was in labour at a residential complex in Parklands.
She was sitting at home when a neighbour came to knock on her door and informed her that a lady in the complex was giving birth.
The off duty paramedic had no equipment with her but agreed to assist in the delivery. When she arrived at the flat one baby had already been delivered but was not breathing. The paramedic performed layman's CPR and managed to revive the baby.
A second baby (twin) was also delivered and was in a stable condition. The babies were transported by ER24 ambulances to New Somerset Hospital for the necessary further care.
