Some women have claimed that babies are being frequently stolen away after just being delivered at PCMH.
The issue is “on the rise” again as they described it.
The Princess Christian Maternity Hospital (PCMH) known as Cottage is often reported by most women to have many babies missing cases.
To ensure that this practice stops, Doctor Alimamy Philip Koroma, a medical superintendent at the PCMH, is acting vigilantly to address the issue.
He has decided to take the bull by its horn
to put a stop to this ugly development.
PCMH superintendent has installed “cameras” at the hospital complex while further tough security measures have been put in place.
This is meant to keep monitoring the movements of people especially visitors in and out of the hospital.
His gains have been reversed though.
Recently, it is alleged that nurses, midwives and other health personnel are in connivance to get babies sold out to undeserved mothers.
Allegations on this story hold that babies are being sold out after they are soon delivered.
Talking to cross-section of pregnant women, over the weekend, at the PCPH many pregnant women reacted in very sad mood.
The mothers and their relatives who go to look after their loved ones who are pregnant would usually have to sleep on bare, cold pavements.
The lactating mothers said they resolve to bring along their family members to be on their watch at the hospital, fearing that their babies might be stolen out.
“We are doing this to monitor our loved ones to be able to deliver their young,” they said.
“Many of our innocent
sisters have fallen victims over the years on having their babies born stolen away,” said some visiting women who are having pregnant relatives at PCMH on a wait around the premises.
The pregnant women have appealed to the media and other human rights activists to come to their aid to prevent babies stealing out.
“We want to have safe
delivery and be happy to hold on to our new born children unhindered at
PCMH,” they said.
They said they don’t want to see the government hospital becoming a baby “shopping centre.”
“We want a proper investigation into this ugly development happening inside the PCMH,” they requested.
