Newborn baby pulled alive from toilet in Beijing

An image supplied by police shows an officer holding the baby in a Beijing toilet block.

Police are searching for the mother of a newborn baby girl found wedged face-down in a Beijing toilet on Sunday.

Residents heard cries from a public toilet block and notified police, according to the Beijing Times.

"Her head was upside down and her body was falling into the drain. We could only vaguely see her feet from the side," Qian Feng, the local police chief told the paper.

Qian said initially police decided to dismantle the toilet as the drain structure was unclear, but that would take too long.

She just kept crying. I looked again, and thought we should try to pull her out even if the possibility might be slim."

In a police video taken during the rescue, Qian is seen kneeling by the toilet, reaching his right hand into the drain.

"There is a right-angled pipe inside the train, and the baby was almost trapped in the horizontal pipe," Qian told the Beijing Times.

After being pulled safely out of the pipe, residents helped police wrap the baby up before she was sent to a nearby hospital.

As of Monday night, she was in a stable condition, the newspaper said. It added that she had no apparent physical defects.

Hospital halves cost of IVF

Reprieve may have come the way of Nigerians seeking children as St. Ives Specialist Hospital, Lagos, has again slashed the cost of its In-Vitro Fertilisation, IVF, by 50 per cent.

Every year, the hospital, in collaboration with Ives Medicare Foundation, strives to make In-Vitro Fertilization, IVF, treatments affordable and accessible to indigent Nigerians in need of children.

The annual 50 per cent discount was hatched in 2010 and has helped thousands in the past six years.

Commenting on the initiative, the Director of the hospital, Dr. Babatunde Okewale, said St Ives identified cost as a major factor militating against stemming incidences of infertility in Nigeria. According to him, “this informed the reason the hospital has resolved to continually make IVF accessible and affordable to couples.”

“Therefore, interested couples are urged to take the 50 percent discount promo and register for the treatment,’’ he said.

Okewale, explained that though IVF services were available and effective in helping fertility-challenged couples to have children, the cost was preventing many couples from accessing the new technology.

He said: “We have identified cost as a major factor militating against stemming the incidence of infertility in Nigeria.

‘’To this end, we have strengthened our resolve to make continuously IVF accessible and relatively affordable to couples. “

He recalled that a year ago, the success story of Mrs. Christie Omolara Orurhe stunned many when the 60-year-old mother was delivered of a baby by the St. Ives team, thus creating a new African record as the oldest IVF mother, equalling that of the United Kingdom.
