Baby's Head Detached in Botched N. Sumatra Delivery
Medan. Police in North Sumatra's Asahan district have launched an investigation against a self-declared midwife after a baby died with its head reportedly coming off during the delivery process on Sunday.
Farida Hanum, 33, was giving birth to her third baby, with the assistance of a woman named Dumaria Siahaan in Aek Tarum village on Sunday night. The baby however had a serious abnormality on the spinal cord, which apparently resulted in the head coming off during the delivery process, while the rest of the body was still inside Farida's womb.
The mother was later rushed to the nearby Abdul Manan Simatupang Public Hospital to undergo surgery to remove the baby's body.
“We have questioned four people in Farida Hanum's case,” the Asahan Police chief, Adj. Sr. Comr. Tata Dirsa Atmaja, said on Tuesday, including the midwife and Farida's husband, Bagus.
Police said Dumaria does not have a license to perform deliveries despite advertising herself as a registered midwife.
Adj. Sr. Comr. Anderson J. Siringoringo, the Asahan Police criminal investigation chief, told Tribunnews news portal said that Dumaria only has a diploma from a nursing school and was not trained in midwifery.
Dumaria reportedly said that she was merely trying to help Farida, whom she said had personally asked her to perform the delivery. She added that she did not realize that the baby had an abnormal spinal cord.
