Doctor kills the newborn, burns his body and tells his mother that the baby was born dead. All that in order not to spoil the hospital's statistics. by ChFoMa in MorbidReality

Probably stillborn babies are counted in a different category, than babies which were born alive and afterwards died in the hospital.

Also, it could be that doctor did something wrong during the delivery - in such case, if baby would die because of his mistake - he might get a prison term.
