The text states that 12 newborns are given to the wrong parents every day due to medical staff errors.
The claim that 12 newborns are given to the wrong parents each day due to medical errors lacks substantial evidence. While individual cases of babies being swapped have been reported, such incidents appear to be rare rather than daily occurrences. No authoritative data or large-scale studies support the frequency mentioned in the claim. The claim likely exaggerates actual data, misrepresenting isolated incidents as routine events.
