Health authorities in Shangqiu, Henan province, will launch an investigation into a case in which a hospital misdiagnosed a premature baby as a stillbirth, leading the infant to suffer from cerebral damage.
Henan radio and television station reported on Sunday morning that a resident, surnamed Xu, and his wife, who was 26 weeks pregnant, consulted with doctors at the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu during a checkup.
According to the checkup results, her womb was infected, so an immediate Caesarean section was suggested.
