VietNamNet Bridge – Officials of the Long Khanh General Hospital in the southern province of Dong Nai on March 23 met with two families to offer and apologize for delivering the wrong baby to them.
The hospital also paid the entire expenses for the assessment of DNA, and held a meeting to review and learn from experience.
In early 2013, two women named T and TT, from the districts of Cam My and Xuan Loc of Dong Nai province, came to the hospital for a caesarean.
T had a baby girl, while TT had a baby boy. However, the hospital staff mistakenly delivered the wrong babies to the two mothers. The baby of T was given to TT and vice versa.
Raising the babies for nearly three months, the two mothers suspected that they got the wrong children because the babies did not look like themselves or their husbands.
Fortunately, during the days at the hospitals, the two women shared the same room and they exchanged their phone numbers.
T phoned T.T to tell about her doubt while TT also expressed her similar suspicion. They decided to perform a DNA test, which showed that their doubt is correct.
Earlier, they were surprised when their babies had a different sex from ultrasound in pregnancy, but they thought that the maybe the ultrasonic doctors were wrong.
