Bolivian Hospital Investigated After Family Alleges Baby Swap and Gender Discrepancy

SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA – An investigation has been launched at the Percy Boland Maternity Hospital in Santa Cruz following a distressing complaint from a family regarding the body of their deceased newborn. A father, whose wife gave birth at the facility, reported that he was initially informed his child was a girl who tragically died during delivery. However, he was subsequently presented with the body of a male infant, leading to serious concerns of a possible baby swap or a critical administrative error. Authorities from the Departmental Health Service (CDES) have confirmed the initiation of an investigation into the matter. A hospital representative stated, "There was an error in the transcription of the birth certificate. The newborn is male." The official acknowledged the complicated nature of the birth but did not elaborate on the specific circumstances leading to the alleged discrepancy. The family is awaiting the results of DNA tests, which are expected to be available this Saturday. These tests are crucial to definitively confirm the identity of the deceased infant and to ascertain whether a baby exchange occurred or if the discrepancy was solely due to an administrative oversight. The incident has sparked public concern regarding hospital protocols and the handling of sensitive cases involving newborns.
