The two babies kidnapped from Dora Nginza Hospital on Tuesday night have been found.
On Wednesday, Eastern Cape health spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo said the infants were found in a healthy condition.
He said police were handling the matter and did not provide further details.
A security guard inside the maternity building tried to stop the women when they attempted to access the ward carrying a bag.
The women were assumed to have been breastfeeding.
One of the women managed to evade the security guard and gained access to the nursery carrying the bag.
