Kirk here with another article on the same press conference held by Dr. Hasuda of Jikei Hospital in Kumamoto. The quality of the English in this article is quite good and it is a longer and more detailed.
The article says that the mother “left a comment to be read at the news conference stating, ‘If it were not for Jikei Hospital, I would have died together with the baby before giving birth.’” As saving lives has always been the raison d’être of the “baby hatch,” I think this statement is particularly important.
