HONG KONG: The director of a hospital in China's central Hubei province is under investigation for selling birth certificates, with the hospital's obstetrics and gynaecology department forced to suspend operations, state media reported on Tuesday (Nov 7).
The case fuelled a flurry of online comments by Chinese netizens who said these birth certificates were likely to be used to register abducted children and prevent them from being found, the Global Times reported.
