A healthy 3 day old baby has been dumped in a Takuapa hospital’s ER section along with 2,000 Baht in cash.
At about 9pm on November 6, at Takuapa Hospital in Phang Nga, a baby was found next to a medicine room. He is 2.6 kilograms and estimated to be only 3 days old. The doctors and nurses at the hospital are taking care of the baby. They checked their records and found that the baby had not been born at the hospital.
Apart from the 2,000 Baht in cash, they found a milk bottle and baby amenities. The hospital has already contacted Takuapa police to search for the mother while also cooperating with the Phang Nga Children and Family Shelter to take care of him after he is strong enough to leave the hospital.
After the police checked the CCTV footage around the area, they saw a woman wearing a helmet and holding the baby arriving at the scene. The baby has no record at the hospital and authorities are contacting other hospitals in the area to try and find where the baby was born. However, they are also considering that the baby may have been stolen. The baby currently remains at the hospital.
