Two
couples in Da Nang city and Thanh Hoa Province who thought they have been
living happily with their own infant daughters for the last four years
discovered recently that their babies had been switched in the hospital after
delivery.
They both
had daughters through a C-section at Thanh Hoa Obstetrics Hospital on October
6, 2012, and one couple moved to Da Nang.
The Da
Nang couple said they sought a DNA test as they realized that the more their
daughter grew up the less she looked like either of them.
The test
results confirmed their suspicion and so they traveled back to the Thanh Hoa
hospital early this month.
They
looked up all baby girls born the same day and, with the hospital’s documents
and DNA samples, found their real daughter was living with the Thanh Hoa
couple.
Both
families agreed to swap their daughters.
They said
the children have not shown any adverse psychological signs in the few days
since the switch.
A
hospital spokesperson admitted to news website VnExpress that medical staff had
mistakenly changed the babies four years ago.
The
hospital is negotiating with the families over compensation.
The
province health department has begun an investigation to identify the persons
responsible.
