A nurse in Malawi has been suspended for taking ‘selfie’ in a labor ward showing a naked pregnant woman in the background surfaced online.
Patricia Malichi’s selfie, which has an unidentified pregnant woman lying on a hospital bed at Ndirande Health Centre in Blantyre city, provoked public anger on social media with many Malawians calling for her dismissal.
Malawi’s Ministry of Health Spokesman Joshua Malango told journalists that the Midwifery Council and the district health authorities are handling the case.
The Health Ministry is also investigating whether the photo was leaked or posted by the midwife.
