Agra, Mar 14 (PTI) A government doctor who resuscitated a newborn by giving her a mouth-to-mouth procedure for several minutes has earned the gratitude of the baby’s family.
On Monday, a 2.50 minute-long video surfaced on social media showing a medic breathing into the mouth of a newborn and rubbing her back.
Surekha Suruse Chaudhary, a paediatrician at CHC Etmadpur, told PTI that the newborn had difficulty breathing due to prolonged labour.

She had a normal delivery and gave birth to a girl child.
