CHINIOT: A newborn baby was found abandoned outside the district headquarters (DHQ) hospital Chiniot on Wednesday, reported ARY News.
An unidentified woman left the baby wrapped in a piece of cloth outside the hospital before hurrying away.
Passers-by discovered the infant after hearing her cry and shifted her to the hospital where she was said to be in stable condition.
Doctors at the medical facility said the baby is in good health and is believed to be two to three hours old.
