An abandoned newborn baby was discovered at around 8:30 p.m. on September 20 in front of a store along National Highway 1 in Ham Thang Commune, Ham Thuan Bac District, Binh Thuan.
At that time, Ms. H came home from work and discovered a plastic bag in front of the door. When she went closer to check, she discovered a newborn baby wrapped in a layer of clothes. The incident was reported, and the commune police and local authorities arrived at the scene. The newborn baby was taken to the commune health station for health check-up and care.
Upon examination, the newborn was a female and still had the umbilical cord attached, so the nurse proceeded to cut the cord. The local authorities made a record of the incident to continue the procedures for notifying relatives according to legal regulations.
