Baby declared dead returned alive after police intervention
Sahiwal hospital accused after newborn declared dead handed over alive
The family said the baby, daughter of Muhammad Ashraf from Chak 109/9-L, had been declared dead by the children’s ward administration. They alleged that the hospital also issued a death certificate to the family.
Relatives claimed that despite issuing the certificate, hospital doctors did not hand over the newborn’s body. The family then accused the hospital administration of withholding the child and staged a protest outside the facility.
