Haryana Woman Alleges Hospital Replaced Her Male Child with Female; Minister Orders Probe

AMBALA, AUGUST 2016:  A woman alleged that her newly-born baby boy was replaced with a girl by a government hospital staff following which Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij directed the authorities to conduct a DNA test of both the woman and her baby.

The woman, a resident of Kaithal, approached the minister in an 'open darbar' held by him at Ambala Cantonment.
She said she gave birth to a child in the civil hospital at Kaithal few days ago but soon after delivery, her male child was replaced with a female by staff members.

She alleged the hospital authorities did not initiate any action when she brought it to their notice.
Mr Vij said it was a serious allegation and should be probed thoroughly.

He said he has directed the civil surgeon of the hospital to conduct the DNA test of the mother and her baby to know the truth of the matter. Hindustan Times
