MANAGEMENT at Kabwe Central Hospital has traced seven women and collected DNA samples from them and their babies in an alleged case of baby-swap in which a 22-year-old woman has denied being the mother of a baby girl she ended up with.

At the centre of the baby-swap paradox is Jet Mwanatuba of Chisamba district. She gave birth on June 25 but rejected a baby girl, saying she delivered a boy. To ascertain the parentage of the disputed baby, management at the hospital re-admitted Ms Mwanatuba and the baby girl, and summoned seven other women who gave birth during the same period.
