Newborn baby wakes up at own funeral.

The Hospital in Delhi has sacked two doctors.
A newborn baby that had been declared dead by doctors in India 'woke up' moments before his funeral.

Police and government enquiries are under way and two doctors have been sacked following the incident at the  Hospital in north west Delhi.

The boy and his twin sister were born prematurely at 7.35am last Thursday, but the girl was stillborn and the boy pronounced dead at 1pm.

But an hour later the baby's grandfather  discovered that the body bag the child had been placed in was moving.

The boy was then taken to hospital in a critical condition.

The baby's family had taken the twins to a burial ground when they noticed one of the children was in fact alive.

In a statement, the hospital confirmed it had dismissed Dr AP Mehta and Dr Vishal Gupta.

The hospital added: 'This strict action has been taken on the basis of our initial discussions with the expert group and as a reflection of our commitment to higher standards of care.'

The national president of the Indian Medical Association, ruled out criminal negligence, instead describing the incident as a 'mistake'.

He said: 'There is definitely a mistake. The difference between a mistake and negligence is deliberate action. I don't think any doctor will do it willfully. But let the inquiry committee find out.

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”.
