Covering 6 Km In 3 Minutes, Noida Traffic Police Rushes Critical Newborn Twins To Hospital
Doctors at Child PGI said that the newborn twins have been battling severe respiratory and digestive complications for the past 47 days, and are extremely sick. The twins are currently on ventilators with high settings for speedy recovery.
On Thursday, Noida Traffic Police created a 6 km-long green corridor from the Delhi Noida Direct Flyway (DND Flyway) to the Child PGI hospital in Sector 30, to let an ambulance carry two critically ill newborn twins. An official said the long stretch was covered in just three minutes and 52 seconds.
Prematurely Born At Just 26 Weeks
The twins, a boy and a girl who were born prematurely at just 26 weeks and weighing around 700 gm each, have been battling severe respiratory and digestive complications for the past 47 days, doctors at Child PGI said.
The infants were initially being treated at a private hospital in Delhi’s Najafgarh but were referred to the advanced neonatal care unit at Child PGI, Noida, for specialised treatment.

Current Status Of The Twins
Dr Ruchi Rai, head of the neonatal intensive care unit at Child PGI, said, “The twins came from Sapling Hospital in Delhi. Both babies are extremely sick and are currently on ventilators with high settings.”
Lakhan Singh Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), told a leading media outlet that around 30 traffic police personnel were deployed to clear the route for the ambulance.
“It was a six-km corridor from DND to Child PGI in Noida. The ambulance covered the stretch in three minutes and 52 seconds,” DCP Yadav said.
Symptoms Of Preterm Birth
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), babies being born too early may include:
- Small size, with a head that’s large compared with the body.
- Fine hair that covers much of the body.
- Low body temperature, mainly right after birth in the delivery room.
- Trouble breathing.
- Feeding problems.
- Features that are sharper and less rounded than a full-term baby’s features are due to a lack of cells that store fat.
Causes Of Preterm Birth
The CDC further explained that the exact cause of premature birth isn’t clear. But certain things can raise the risk, such as lifestyle choices (smoking, being underweight or overweight, pregnant before the age of 17 or after 35), health problems (high blood pressure, diabetes, trauma, stress) and risks associated to past and present pregnancies.
