Another mother shares a photo of her newborn baby with a tape on his face.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF CEBU PUERICULTURE CENTER AND MATERNITY HOUSE, INC.
The board of trustees of Cebu Puericulture Center and Maternity House, Inc. regrets the events that allegedly transpired on May 9,2014, in the nursery of our hospital, where baby Yohannes Noval’s mouth appeared to have a piece of tape on his upper lip, and where pacifier is seen on the side. Likewise, we regret the emergence of a photo of a second baby – Baby Blaire Arsua – who appears with a pacifier taped to her mouth. A nasal cannula that supplies oxygen is also observed in Baby Blaire’s case. CPCMHI does not allow the use of a pacifier or tape to hold it in place, unless ordered by the attending physician. Fortunately, no injury was sustained by the babies. There is now an ongoing independent investigation being conducted. The BOT of CPCMHI welcomes this and will abide by the outcome and decision of the investigating body. Thank you.
— Florencia Streegan President of Cebu Puericulture Center and Maternity Hospital Inc.
