The newborn girl has been named Luz Milagros, or "Miracle Light." She was in critical but improving condition Wednesday in the same hospital where the staff pronounced her stillborn on April 3.

The case became public Tuesday when the deputy provincial health minister announced that five medical professionals involved have been suspended pending an official investigation.

Mother Analia Bouguet told the TeleNoticias TV channel and website in an interview Tuesday night that she still just has a death certificate, not a birth certificate. A medical malpractice suit is planned.
