KARACHI: A baby reportedly went missing from Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), the largest public sector hospital in the city.
The father of the newborn claimed that the infant went missing from JPMC Karachi after a woman reportedly gave birth to twins. He blamed doctors for the missing second baby. A complaint has also been lodged against the hospital’s administration.
The complaint stated that the ultrasound scan performed by a private laboratory showed twins. The physicians at the emergency ward of the hospital said that woman had given birth to only one baby which they handed over to the parents.
Dr Seemi Jamali, executive director of JPMC, said that confusion occurred as the parents have got two ultrasound reports from different laboratories.
She said the two ultrasounds have shown different results, adding that the ultrasound report carried out by JPMC showed only one child. A five-member committee has been formed to probe into the matter and parents of the infant have been summoned on February 18.
Police said that action will be taken if the investigation committee submits the reports proving the birth of twins at the hospital.
