[Epoch Times December 06, 2021]Recently, non-governmental abduction volunteers from mainland China issued a post asking about the theft of more than 4,000 birth certificates from Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Henan Province ten years ago. After the case was filed, there was no result.
The Paper reported on December 6 that the relevant person in charge of the Office of the Health and Health Committee of Liangyuan District, Shangqiu City said that the matter was investigated by the public security organs and the case has not yet been closed.
A staff member of the Office of Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital said that the above incident had been handled before, and the hospital later installed surveillance, safe and other anti-theft measures. “After this incident, there has been no similar situation.”
Jimu News reported that in response to this matter, Shangqiu police stated on December 5 that the local area has reinvestigated the case. In the afternoon of the same day, the reporter contacted the Shangqiu Maternity and Child Health Hospital. The staff said that they were unaware of this matter. If you need to understand the situation, you need to consult the leaders of the hospital. The Shangqiu City Health Commission’s telephone calls have been unavailable many times.
The civilian anti-trafficking volunteer Shangguan Zhengyi reported to the Henan police five years ago that someone in Fujian Province successfully registered a household registration with an illegally obtained birth certificate after purchasing a child. A considerable part of the birth certificate came from the Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The case has been inconclusive.
On December 2, Shangguan Zhengyi posted a Weibo stating that five years after the case was filed for investigation, there was no news on the follow-up progress of the case.
A few days ago, Shangguan Zhengyi told Jimu News that he still has some questions about this matter in his mind, and he urgently needs official answers.
Today (December 6), Shangguan Zhengyi provided two documents it obtained in 2016, showing that on January 30, 2011, the birth medical certificate was stolen in the Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The local official investigation found that Shangqiu’s women and children There are weak links in the safety and security measures of the health care center. Five people including the dean of the Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Care Center were punished.
Another document is titled “Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital’s Statement on the Stolen Birth Medical Certificate”, which was issued on July 23, 2013. The document stated that when the staff of the department walked into the corridor of the department at 8 a.m. on January 30, 2011, they found that the door of the birth medical certificate office was opened, and blank birth medical certificates were scattered on the floor and desk. Immediately related personnel called the police.
According to the document, the hospital found that 2,885 blank birth medical certificates were stolen during the inventory. During the second investigation the following year, another 2,000 birth certificates were found missing. A careful review revealed that they were stolen at that time and were not found out.
In 2014, a reporter from Shangguan Zhengyi reported that someone in Fujian successfully went to a household after purchasing a child. He learned through undercover secret interviews that the birth certificate of unknown origin for the child’s household registration was circulated from the Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital. After reporting the situation to the Shangqiu police, there has been no result so far.
Shangguan Zhengyi said that he learned more about the informant before he learned that there were people selling birth certificates in the local area. He realized that there may be a black industrial chain.
He said that he learned from the birth certificate intermediary office that the intermediary can purchase the birth medical certificate that fits the batch of the child according to the age of the child. These birth certificates are sold by intermediaries at a price of 60,000 to 100,000 yuan each.
In 2016, the “Democracy and Legal Times”, which was rated as one of the ten most influential weekly newspapers on the mainland by an authoritative organization, published a report that exposed the chaos in the sale of health certificates. The seller involved Henan, Hunan, Guizhou, Shandong and other places, while the buyer Mostly in Fujian.
In the same year, the Henan Metropolitan Channel reported that a survey of dozens of households in Fujian Province based on a list of the purchase and sale of birth certificates revealed that these households had spent thousands to tens of thousands of yuan to purchase certificates. The birth certificate number of one of the children starts with J412683, which is consistent with the number of one batch of stolen birth certificates published in the aforementioned “Shangqiu Maternal and Child Health Hospital’s Statement on the Stolen Birth Medical Certificate”.
