Maternity nurses at a hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, took immediate action to keep newborn babies safe. A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the region and it is the most intense to hit Taiwan in the last 25 years. Even though it caused widespread panic and destruction, a heartwarming scene unfolded at the Ma Cherie Maternity Centre.

Footage from the hospital shows two nurses holding onto tiny cots containing newborns. They steadied them against the tremors while a third nurse swiftly joins to assist. In a quick moment, one nurse even managed to secure a cot by locking its wheel with her foot. She didn’t think twice about ensuring the safety of the baby inside.

The earthquake was centered near Hualien which is a city on the eastern coast of Taiwan. Despite the fear and urgency of the moment, the nurses remained focused on their duty to protect the infants. Chen Ting-Chin, the supervisor at the maternity center, said that their instinctive reaction was driven by a deep commitment to the safety of the babies.

The community's reaction to the nurses' actions was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising their bravery during such a perilous situation. Meanwhile, families affected by the quake are dealing with the heartbreaking reality of their homes being severely damaged, making them too dangerous to live in.

This story not only showcases the heroic actions of healthcare workers in times of crisis but also highlights the love and care of a community. Focusing on the positive aspects of life doesn’t mean completely ignoring the negatives. It simply means placing greater emphasis on the good rather than the bad.
