A photo taken March 11, 2019, shows a nurse checking on babies inside incubators at the maternity ward of the Rabta hospital in Tunis.Fifteen babies were killed by an infection at a Tunisian state hospital, investigators said Friday, as they announced a new death toll in a scandal which has sparked public outrage.
Investigations were launched after newborns at the Rabta state hospital in Tunis started dying last week. Mohamed Douagi, head of the commission of inquiry, said Friday in total 22 babies have died at the clinic since March 6.“Medically it is proven that 15 of these deaths are linked in a direct or indirect way to the bacterial infection,” he said in a press conference broadcast online.The acting health minister, Sonia Ben Cheikh, said Monday 12 babies had died from a hospital-acquired infection according to preliminary findings.
Tunisia’s public health system was once a source of pride, but it has been hit by management and financial problems that lowered standards and caused drug shortages.
What is actually going on? People die in tens these days and children arent excluded...is the world coming to an end?
Necessery measures need to be taking so as to curtail the spread of the infection!!!!!!
This is uncalled for
