"They asked me to bring candles and arrange for as many cellphones and torch lights as possible, during the midnight," said the woman's husband.

"While the woman was already experiencing labour pains when the hospital's generator also went down due to lack of maintenance, so we had no other option but to ask the woman's attendants to arrange the source of light for her," said the hospital staff.
