Speaking
after
a
tour
of
UBH
last
Thursday,
Kwidini
said
that
the
ministry
is
thoroughly
addressing
the
issue
and
will
leave
no
stone
unturned.
He
added
that
while
the
families
have
been
reunited,
the
incident
is
unacceptable
and
must
never
be
repeated.
Said
Kwidini:
That
matter
is
still
under
investigation,
but
I
can
assure
the
nation
that
the
findings
will
be
made
public.
If
charges
are
to
be
brought
against
anyone
found
guilty,
they
will
be.And
if
it
is
proven
that
it
was
simply
a
mistake
without
ill
intent,
the
public
will
also
be
informed.
It
must
be
clear
that
this
matter
will
not
be
swept
under
the
carpet.Kwidini
did
not
confirm
whether
the
nurse
involved
is
still
working
or
has
been
suspended
pending
the
investigation.
A
mother
who
gave
birth
to
a
baby
boy
late
last
year
was
shocked
when
a
nurse
handed
her
a
baby
girl
instead.
The
nurse
suggested
the
confusion
might
be
due
to
anaesthesia
from
her
Caesarean
section.
Suspicious,
the
mother
sought
DNA
testing
at
a
private
lab
and
the
National
University
of
Science
and
Technology
(NUST),
which
confirmed
that
the
baby
girl
was
not
hers.
She
had
been
told
that
another
woman,
who
was
due
for
the
same
procedure,
had
been
discharged
before
her.
With
the
support
of
her
family,
who
remembered
her
scan
results
showing
a
baby
boy,
the
mother
confronted
the
hospital.
Staff
located
the
other
woman,
but
her
husband
refused
to
cooperate,
insisting
the
baby
girl
was
his.
The
police
were
called,
and
the
couple
was
brought
to
Bulawayo.
After
further
DNA
testing
with
NUST,
it
was
confirmed
that
the
babies
had
been
switched.
