The Dhaka Times Desk Jikai University Hospital in Kumamoto, Japan has a 'hatch' for abandoned newborns. The hospital has been Japan's only 'safe haven' for abandoned children for the past 15 years.
The hospital has 24-hour support for pregnant women, along with hotline facility. This hospital is always ready to provide all facilities to anyone who wants to give birth secretly.
However, the clinic has also come under criticism for clandestine deliveries and safe havens for abandoned children. But Takeshi Hasuda, the chief physician here, says that many women are ashamed of unwanted pregnancies and don't even want to reveal them - and consider it a terrifying experience. Such women feel comfortable coming to this hospital.
Saori Taminaga, a hospital worker, told the media that if they agree, sometimes they ask the mothers why they gave birth or left their babies here. They also encourage mothers to write down some information so that children can later learn about their roots. In 2007, the Catholic hospital first introduced the Baby Hatch system for abandoned babies, based on the German model. This kind of baby hatch program has been going on in the country for hundreds of years.
Currently, this model is in use in several countries including South Korea, Pakistan and the United States. However, this model has been banned in some countries including Britain. Every child has the right to information about his or her birth and parents. However, the United Nations has complained that this system violates children's rights.
Jikai Hospital believes that the Baby Hatch model essentially protects children from abuse and death in Japan. According to police records, 27 children were found abandoned in the country in 2020. 57 children died due to harassment in 2019.
It has been reported that the mothers of abandoned children include sex workers and rape victims. There are women who have no place to stay. The most important role of the baby hatch system is to act as a last resort for abandoned mothers in the society. So far 161 children have been left in this hospital by their mothers.
According to Japanese custom, those who give birth to a child are bound to raise it. However, as the baby hatch system is against it, the hospital has to face a lot of criticism. However, no ban has been given by the government. Rather, this system has valid registration. - Deutsche Welle.
