  • Sinaloa's Health Secretary denies irregularities in a birth, stating medical records show only two babies were expected.
  • The denial follows social media claims of a third newborn disappearing after delivery.
  • Officials confirmed the mother was aware of the two-fetus pregnancy and no complaints have been filed by the parents.

Sinaloa's Secretary of Health, Cuitlรกhuac Gonzรกlez Galindo, has refuted claims of irregularities during a hospital delivery where a young mother gave birth to two babies. He stated that medical evidence, including ultrasounds and other studies conducted during the pregnancy, clearly indicated only two fetuses, dispelling social media rumors of a third newborn who allegedly vanished.

Gonzรกlez Galindo confirmed that the entire medical process, from the pregnancy to the cesarean delivery, has been documented. He noted that the mother was informed through ultrasound results and laboratory tests that she was carrying twins. The version circulating on social media about a missing third baby has therefore surprised health officials.

Officials have compiled the mother's complete clinical record, including prenatal assessments and the details of her two newborns' care. They are prepared to address any potential complaints or actions the parents might pursue. So far, the parents have not lodged any formal complaints or claims regarding the birth.
