To prevent "trash can babies" somewhere, those areas allow mothers to leave their infants in a little private hidden place outside a hospital. No questions are asked; the baby can just be left and the mother leave and never think about it again. The infant would be cared for and put up for adoption. When implemented, only a very small number of babies are "abandoned" at those hospitals, but the number who are abandoned to the trash fall to zero.
