Two nurses suspended for alleged baby swap at Assam’s LMCH

Guwahati: Two nurses have been suspended for alleged swapping of a baby at the Lakhimpur medical college hospital (LMCH) in Assam on Tuesday.

While addressing to media, this was informed by Dr Nikhil Kakoty, superintendent of LMCH.

Dr Kakoty said that the authorities have ordered the suspension of the two nurses, who were on duty at the time of alleged baby swap.

The authorities also issued show cause notice to another nurse, who reportedly entered the switched infant as a male in the babies’ resister of the LMCH.

Dr. Kakoty emphasised that the new born was actually a female and that the error occurred as a result of the nurses’ incompetence who were on duty that day.

Meanwhile, in order to dispel any questions over who the baby’s biological parents were, DNA samples from the child have been sent for additional analysis.
