New-born baby falsely declared dead 

Someone was trying to steal that baby, something is not make sure here.

You need to sue the hospital

DNA test need to be done.

50 yrs ago I gave birth to a stillborn baby girl at Addington hospital. The hospital told my husband and my mother because she'd never breathed she would be incinerated as *Medical waste". However a month later they contacted me to ask when I would fetch my baby from the mortuary. I had a total breakdown thinking of her small body laying on the cold mortuary bed with no warmth and abandoned. 😢 My heart was broken all over again. I know now I should have sued the hospital but I was 19 and very inexperienced. I had to arrange a cremation for her and have never gotten over my severe trauma of losing my baby and them leaving her body I'm the mortuary for a month before contacting me. But they owe me big time for the PTSD that I still suffer today. 😢😢😢😢😢

So sorry you had to go through this trauma. All the best to your family.

What a world we.are now living in , so sad

This guy is not serious, when someone is pronounced dead you need to confirm

Sad as death can be, it's important to first physically identify the deceased. It's traumatic but very important to do. May you be encouraged as you go through all the trauma.

Sue the hospital !

The father should have gone to ICU to confirm .

I work in hospital and i have been admitted in icu for 3months with my twins .This father was suppose to be there with the child even in ICU .In hospital there is nothing done without the parents .When the child was rescuscitated and confirmed ....then became alive .....where was the dad?Where was the mum .....something is fishy .I got confused cause he cannot even explain himself

Horrific....very traumatizing for the family...so sorry my friend

The first thing as parents when one say ur baby is no more. Whether confused or not u ask to see ur dead baby.

What a horrible experience 😢

Stay strong brother,sorry I hope uMama heals from this it's not an easy journey.

Sorry for the bad experience family.Something very wrong in SA a lot of babys die after birth.Mothers carry babies full term and babies dye at birth it is not normal.

The nurses are very rude .i understand y my brother did not think of going to to confirm if the baby is really no more.😢😢😢

Emotional distress is a very serious issue and many people don't un it.

Department of health 😭😭😭🚮

Scary story in S.A

Sorry for that family the baby name is Bophelo

Just knew it's only government Hosp can do that

Scary very sad

Where is the baby now home or still in hospital, imagine if the DNA comes negative what will happen to the baby. Oh Lod arise for this family!!

How come the parents never went to the hospital to confirm the death of their own baby 😏 it doesn't make sense

What a scary and traumatic story😢.

The hosp wanted to sell the baby

They wanted to sell the baby.

Just the headline gave me palpitations😧

@ANC at work.

Unfortunately this is what nursing is becoming in South Africa.

😢😢

This sounds like Edenvale hospital or Thembisa hospital 🤞🤞🤞

😮did she just say Benoni hospital in Bloemfontein

Esh😢

Which hospital is this

Bathong😢

Ijooh 😭😭💔

Yoh! Nina ngingashona, the trauma!!!

Why he didn't go and confirm if the baby is dead!? That's a stupid question. Most black people dont bother. Once a person is dead, is dead! But also for a person who's in icu, it means he or she is critical ill. If i were him, I'd be glad the baby is alive, focus on the baby, make sure he is recovering and ok, and deal with this matter later! Now it seems like he is rushing to sue the department and get money while the baby is fighting for his/ her life!!!

A lack of qualified doctors and nurses,blame anc

😢😢
