No government doctors are involved in a baby-for-sale racket as claimed by a documentary by an international satellite television station recently.
Deputy Minister of Health Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahaya said such things only involved private confinement homes for mothers.
"I understand that the sale of babies is run by a racket under the guise of protection centres for unwed mothers.
"Firstly, the racket members will assist in registering the babies before looking for buyers.
"They have turned it into a business," he told reporters when commenting on the documentary programme, 101 East shown by Al Jazeera on Nov 25.
Hilmi said that cases involving the sale of babies were under the jurisdiction of the police.
"The ministry is monitoring several clinics and certain parties believed to be involved in the sale of babies in this country," he added. -BERNAMA
