Hospital: Anhui Provincial Children's Hostpial where a baby boy, who had been pronounced dead but was found alive before cremation, is being treated in Hefei city, east Chinas Anhui province
A funeral home discovered a baby was alive two days after he was pronounced dead at a hospital in eastern China. Shocked funeral home workers heard the baby crying and discovered he was alive at a funeral parlor in Hefei. The boy has severe deformities and the hospital treated him until Monday, when his condition deteriorated.
At less than one month old, his parents agreed to end his medical treatment at Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital. Authorities revoked the license of the doctor who mistakenly declared the newborn boy dead, the health department in Anhui province said. Authorities have ruled that the doctor - identified only by the surname Cha - was negligent and that hospital's newborn division was chaotic.
'Because the baby still had life signs, we continued to give him transfusion to maintain his life for humanitarian reasons,' a hospital staff member told state news agency Xinhua. The baby was born with a 'congenital respiratory system malformation', the report added. The boy remains in critical condition.
