A woman in Kayole has accused an hospital for refusing to give her a baby after she delivered twins. According to the woman, she has done two ultrasounds. Both of which had confirmed that she was expecting twins. She was shocked when she couldn’t receive the second baby.
She said that the hospital through the doctor told her that the child was being cleaned and she should be patient. She was later told that the other child died during the CS procedure.
“With the expectation of having twins, I arrived at the hospital to deliver my babies. Following a cesarean section, the doctor handed me a single child. I inquired about the second baby and was informed that they were being being cleaned. I called my mom and her phone was off. I then contacted my aunt from Pipeline, who promptly arrived and demanded an explanation. only to be informed by the doctor that there was no second child.”
The family claimed that the only communication they received is to sign documents for the baby to be transferred to the morgue. A demand they rejected. The family also pushed for the government and the Ministry of Health to conduct investigation into the matter.
Police officer present at the scene confirmed that they received a report and an investigation has been launched into the matter.
“We received the report and have started investigating the matter. we are hoping the case will be handled well and results are given according to our findings.”
Various hospitals have been on the spot for illegally switching babies at birth and selling them to ready customers who pay heavily. This at the expense of mothers who trust them with their newborns. Its time this tendency stops and perpetrators held accountable with hefty fines and huge jail terms. That’s the only way we can deal with this vice.
