A two-day-old newborn girl was found abandon, wrapped inside a cloth, in the capital’s Hazaribagh area yesterday.
After recovering the baby yesterday evening, police admitted her at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. The girl is now undergoing treatment at neonatal ward no 211 of the hospital.
Dr Firoz Ahmed of the DMCH told the Dhaka Tribune that the baby was in good condition and seemed to be all right. However, some samples were sent to laboratory to trace whether the baby had any complications.
Emarat Hossain, officer-in-charge of Hazaribagh police station, told the Dhaka Tribune that locals informed police about the newborn. After recovering the baby from a lane beside house No 13 of road 4/A in the area, the girl was first admitted at Renesa Hospital in Dhanmondi and later shifted to DMCH as there were some laws regarding the girl’s future, he added.
Visiting the neonatal ward of DMCH yesterday, Laizu, a lady constable, was found feeding the girl powdered milk, though the girl should be taking her mother’s milk at this stage.
