According to BBC News, a Portuguese obstetrician has been suspended after a baby was born without a nose, eyes or part of his skull.
The parents of baby Rodrigo had not been aware of their son's severe physical abnormalities until he was born earlier this month.
After Rodrigo's birth and his abnormalities became clear, his parents were reportedly told he would only survive for hours. However, more than two weeks on, the boy is still alive under hospital care.
His parents have reportedly submitted a complaint about Dr Carvalho to the Portuguese Prosecutors' Office.
Medical council officials have voted to suspend Dr Artur Carvalho over allegations of negligence.
It has emerged that other complaints, dating back more than a decade, have been made involving other babies.
Reports of those cases, detailed by Portuguese media, have provoked widespread outrage.
Dr Carvalho has not commented publicly on any of the allegations and the BBC has been unable to reach him directly.
