China: Chinese authorities send medical team to reverse sterilisation operations

Chinese authorities will send a medical team to the earthquake zone to reverse sterilisation operations on parents who have lost children in the disaster to allow them to have another child.

The team will provide technological support for those wanting to give birth to another child, the Xinhua news agency quoted Zhang Shikun, director of the science and technology bureau of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, as saying.

The announcement comes after a growing number of parents from across the quake-hit area demanded the Government explain why so many schools collapsed during the quake.

Many parents believe corruption in school building was to blame for the shoddy construction.
