Newborns Switched At Birth At Mt. Hope Hospital
Sometimes you think this is the sort of things that happen in the movies but no, five months ago two babies were switched at Mt. Hope and NOW they have been reunited to their real families. I'm shocked at how casual the Minister seems to be addressing the issue. I hope both families take legal action because it is ridiculous!
QUOTE Babies being switched at birth in a hospital is a scenario parents would expect only in a movie.
Five months ago it happened to two local couples at the Mt Hope Women's Hospital.
The babies went home with the wrong parents and it was only yesterday the babies were finally returned to their biological mothers after the Ministry of Health intervened two weeks ago.
The bizarre story unfolded months ago when a young expectant mother from Tobago was flown in by helicopter to have a Caesarean section at the Mt Hope Women's Hospital.
On that same day, another young woman from central Trinidad also had a Caesarian section to deliver her newborn.
The Tobago mother and her husband are of Afro-Trinidadian ethnicity while the Central mother and her husband are of Indian ethnicity.
Both mothers, after their surgeries, were placed on the same ward, in beds next to each other.
They both had baby girls who were tagged and placed in cots next to the patients believed to be their biological mothers.
The babies had been switched in error earlier by nurses and no one detected the mix-up. Source 8

It's amazing how they kept it so quiet from the public to avoid public embarrassment, how in the world can a mistake of this sort take place and what they are going to do with the person or persons responsible for this?
