A Peruvian woman,Monica Palomino, was forced to keep the body of her dead baby in a freezer after a hospital told her to keep it until she had a death certificate.
Monica said her baby was born prematurely last Saturday after a gestation of only 25 weeks and died on Monday.
But under pressure from security personnel at Lima’s Sergio Bernales hospital, she had to take the body home until she could begin the process of getting a death certificate.
“They gave me my son when I was discharged. He’s in the refrigerator in my house because they did not give me the time to do the paperwork for his death certificate, I want to bury him but to do so I need the death certificate,” said the mother, who returned to the hospital on Tuesday to claim it.
