In February of this year, the court issued a landmark ruling awarding Majani $25,000, requiring that hospital staff formally apologize to her and demanded women be given quality care and treated with dignity during childbirth.
Man Kaur
Man Kaur is 101, but her routine could tire most 20s. Every day she wakes up at 4:00 a. m., bathes,washes clothes. makes tea, recites prayers until about 7:00 a. m.
