Tokyo hospital unveils "baby hatch" for anonymous infant drop-offs to prevent abandonment.
Tokyo's Sanikukai Hospital has introduced a "baby hatch," allowing parents unable to care for their infants to leave them anonymously.
Used globally for centuries, these hatches aim to prevent child abandonment and abuse.
Critics argue they violate a child's right to know their parents.
At Sanikukai, a 24/7 system alerts staff when a baby is placed in the hatch, and hospital workers then decide the best placement, such as foster care.
This is Japan's second baby hatch, with the first established in Kumamoto in 2007.
