The Gauteng health department will institute disciplinary action against staff allegedly involved in the swapping of newborn babies at the Tambo Memorial Hospital in Boksburg.

“The baby girl’s mother realised at around 9pm the same evening when she changed the baby that it was not her baby, as she had delivered a baby girl and

she instead had a boy,” Kekana said.The matter was referred to a social worker to facilitate DNA testing at the request of one of the fathers, Kekana said.
