Tunku Azizah Hospital allegedly swapped a couple's newborn daughter with a baby boy. The father discovered the error when he noticed both infants were wearing his wife’s name tags.

According to the father, nurses initially doubted his claim that the baby was not his, which forced him to rely on his own evidence and the name tags to prove the error.

Hospital Tunku Azizah has resolved the issue and returned both babies safely to their respective parents. An internal investigation is currently underway to identify the cause of the accidental swap at the facility.

The father of the newborn daughter lodged a police report following the discovery of the mix-up. He shared the ordeal online, highlighting the importance of keeping evidence like the hospital identification tags.

1. How was the baby swap discovered?

The father noticed that the baby handed to them was a boy, despite his wife giving birth to a girl, while both babies had the same name tag.

2. Was the babies' health or safety compromised?

No. HTA confirmed that the mix-up was brief and that no breastfeeding or medical treatments involving the wrong infants took place during the incident.

3. Is a DNA test necessary for confirmation?

While the hospital used name tags to correct the swap, parents in similar past cases have requested DNA tests to provide absolute "peace of mind" and legal certainty.
