Vietnamese doctors make baby mistake

Nguyen Van Sach, head of a group of doctors working a night shift at Quang Nam General Hospital, and Dinh Thi My Hang, a midwife, have been reprimanded for incorrectly diagnosing a baby as stillborn.

The hospital will also review leaders of its obstetric department.
Last week, the hospital staff told a mother to take her new-born child home for burial. However, when they got home, the family discovered the baby was still breathing.
