Danielle McCann says from now on an ambulance will be used to transfer pregnant women who are close to giving birth

The woman’s partner, Jean-Francois Dandurand, told radio station 98.5 FM that his spouse’s water broke midway through the journey, and she gave birth about 15 minutes from their destination.

He said the mother and baby are doing well, but he feels the family should have been offered more support. McCann said the closure of La Malbaie’s obstetrics ward was due to unforeseen circumstances, and the hospital is working to resume its services as soon as possible.
