Flooding from the burst pipe impacted several floors, BMC said in a statement. Impacted floors included the NICU, and the labor and delivery areas.

As a result, six expectant mothers had to be transferred to other hospitals in the area as a precaution.

"Other patients in affected areas have been moved internally as needed and we have maintained safe, high quality care for all patients," BMC said in a statement. "We appreciate the support we have received from other hospitals who have taken our patients."
