Trebic hospital admits responsibility for baby swap

A hospital in Trebic has admitted responsibility for a baby mix-up that saw two new-born little girls accidentally switched after birth. The babies spent ten months with couples who were not their biological parents; the mistake was only uncovered after one of the couples sought DNA testing. The hospital's director Petr Mayer on Friday revealed that seven hospital employees had made mistakes in the case. He said two nurses would be fired. Two others will be moved to different jobs. Three personnel will receive written reprimands. According to the hospital management the new-borns were correctly labelled after delivery but their mix-up took place within three hours. The parents of the children have agreed to switch their children back before the little girls' birthdays on December 9th.
