A Peruvian woman was forced to keep the body of her dead baby in a
freezer after a hospital told her to keep it until she had a death
certificate.Monica Palomino said her baby was born prematurely last Saturday after a gestation of only 25 weeks and died on Monday.
But under pressure from security personnel at Lima’s Sergio Bernales
hospital, she had to take the body home until she could begin the
process of getting a death certificate.
“They gave me my son when I was discharged. He’s in the refrigerator in
my house because they did not give me the time to do the paperwork for
his death certificate,” Palomino told ATV television.
“I want to bury him but to do so I need the death certificate,” said the
mother, who returned to the hospital on Tuesday to claim it.
Meanwhile, the child’s body remained in the freezer of the family
refrigerator. On the door she placed a sign that says, “Do Not Touch.”
“The woman in charge of the gynecology department did not want to let me
leave the hospital if I didn’t take my baby. My baby was wrapped in a
diaper.”
Hospital director Julio Silva said Wednesday it would investigate the
woman’s complaint because he said the security guards had broken all the
hospital’s procedures.
“I assume full responsibility. What should have been done is wait in the
mortuary for the death certificate to be issued, to then be able to
remove the body,” Silva said.
