Healthy newborn left in Prague babybox

Officials at a clinic in Prague’s Hloubetín have reported a healthy two-day-old newborn was left in their babybox on Monday morning at around 4:30 am. The founder of the Czech babybox system, Ludvík Hess, said that the little girl had been given the name Jana. The baby was the second in 12 hours to be left in a babybox; another child, several days old, was left a facility in Jindřichův Hradec. Since the system was introduced a number of years ago, 36 children, unwanted by their parents, have been saved through babyboxes. Thirty-nine such facilities, monitored by doctors, are found across the Czech Republic.
