Can a male doctor deliver the child if there are no female doctors available?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

If there is an emergency for mother and child and there is no female doctor available at the time can a women doctor allow a male doctor to deliver the child?

If there is no female doctor available then this would be allowed, in an other words, if a women cannot find a female doctor at the time of need a male doctor can check her and she can open herself up in front of him for medical checkup. Same thing goes for men too when they cannot find a male doctor.
