audiah Elva Ningsih, a mother who claims to have lost one of her twin babies while giving birth, has reported a hospital to the police over the allegedly missing child.
East Jakarta Police’s woman and child protection division head Adj. Comr. Endang Sri Lestari confirmed that Raudiah had reported the case.
“Yes she has made the report, but she has not explained the details. We will soon question her,” said Endang as reported by kompas.com on Tuesday.
Raudiah said she gave birth at the Harapan Jaya Hospital (RSHJ) on May 8. She explained that the ultrasonic checks done at two places while she was still pregnant – the Pasar Minggu Public Health Center and the Budhi Asih Hospital – showed that she was carrying twins.
The ultrasonic examination was done at the Pasar Minggu Health Center when she was in her 24th week, while the check at the Budhi Asih hospital was done during the 36th week.
She said she was shocked by receiving only one baby after giving birth.
Raudiah also said the reports issued by the Harapan Jaya Hospital after the regular check-ups conducted until childbirth also showed that she was carrying twin babies.
The Harapan Jaya Hospital denied Raudiah gave birth to twins. The head of the hospital's supervisory council, Hermawan Saputra, said that the hospital never diagnosed Raudiah with two babies.
“We did not diagnose a twin pregnancy,” Hermawan said, adding that his hospital was not responsible for the results of the ultrasonic checks in the two other institutions. (bbn)
