ERHA launches bedside birth certificates

Par­ents giv­ing birth at the San­gre Grande Hos­pi­tal Cam­pus can now reg­is­ter their ba­bies and re­ceive their birth cer­tifi­cates be­fore leav­ing the hos­pi­tal.

The Bed­side Birth Reg­is­tra­tion Ser­vice was launched on Oc­to­ber 14, al­low­ing par­ents to com­plete the process at the hos­pi­tal rather than hav­ing to make a sep­a­rate trip to reg­is­ter their new­borns.

Ac­cord­ing to a post by the East­ern Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty (ER­HA), the launch was led by Land and Le­gal Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sad­dam Ho­sein, who is al­so a Min­is­ter in the Min­istry of Agri­cul­ture and Fish­eries.
