Hugs and Kisses in the News
‘Anti-abduction device should be installed in all hospitals’

JEDDAH: A strict system needs to be implemented in hospitals across the Kingdom to stop babies from being kidnapped or accidentally swapped, said Dr. Walid Fitaihi, founder and CEO of the International Medical Center (IMC) in Jeddah.
Hospitals in the Kingdom have recently seen a number of kidnappings and accidental swaps. In a recent and notorious case, a newborn baby boy was stolen from a hospital in Madinah. The child was, however, left near a park a few days later. But another baby who was kidnapped from a hospital in Al-Jouf several years ago was never found.
Likewise, there was a famous case in which two boys — one born to a Saudi family and the other to a Turkish expatriate family in Najran — were swapped at birth. The accident was, however, only discovered several years later and both boys have been undergoing psychological treatment to deal with the mistake.
As a result, many women are worried about their children being kidnapped or swapped at birth and have called for additional security in hospitals. The IMC in Jeddah is one hospital that has installed a system — Hugs and Kisses — that provides a maximum level of security to children. The system is used worldwide, but largely ignored in private and government hospitals in the Kingdom. Read more »
