In Ballari District Hospital in Karnataka, doctors found themselves in a strange battle— not against disease, but against the moon. Several pregnant women, in active labour, refused to give birth during a lunar eclipse. The medical staff watched, helpless and anxious, as tradition overruled treatment.
When oxygen levels began to dip dangerously, doctors stepped in, overriding the patients’ refusal with urgent care. This was not a rural clinic untouched by modernity. This was a government hospital in a country that launches rockets into space.
