Photos & Video: See World's Busiest Maternity Ward Where Women Sleep Five To A Bed And 100 Babies Are Born Every Day

Crammed: The wards at the Dr Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital are packed with mothers - more than five per bed
Dubbed the 'world's busiest maternity ward', the natal wing at the Dr Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital serves the nearby Tondo slum, a former rubbish dump now home to half a million people. 300 new mothers are crammed into the wards which sees, on average, 60 new babies come into the world every single day. Space at the maternity wing is at a premium, so mothers and their new babies share with other mothers, usually five to a bed but sometimes more, and she will give birth as part of a group of six when the time comes. Hmmm, what luxury we have in our Maternity wards in Naija. See video and more pictures after the break ...
