"Nurses were arrested in the TRNC over infant deaths, but the court released them."

07.11.2024 14:52

Following the death of a baby and the intubation of six others in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, hospital nurses were arrested. The court released five nurses on bail. Details of the incident and developments regarding the health status of the ongoing cases of the babies are still unfolding.

The death of a baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Burhan Nalbantoğlu Emergency Hospital, affiliated with the Ministry of Health of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), led to the arrest of 5 nurses after 6 babies were intubated. The nurses were released on bail by the court they were brought before.

In the Lefkoşa District Court, M.A, A.D, Ç.Ş, G.K.A, and K.Y, who are accused of feeding the babies by mixing alcohol into their formula, appeared before the judge on charges of "causing death by negligence and neglect."

The court ruled that all defendants would be tried without detention under the conditions of a travel ban, signing in at the police station three times a week, depositing 200,000 TL in cash as bail per person, and signing a bail bond of one million Turkish Lira each by three guarantors who are TRNC citizens.

THEY ARE WAITING FOR A REPORT FROM TURKEY

It was reported that new developments could occur depending on the outcome of the expected report from Turkey, and that the course of the trial would change if permanent damage was found in the 6 babies receiving treatment in the hospital.

On the other hand, the TRNC Ministry of Health announced that 3 of the 6 babies, who were intubated due to the presence of medical alcohol in their formula and later continued with normal treatments, had been discharged and handed over to their families.

The ministry's statement noted that the health conditions of the other 3 babies, whose treatments are ongoing, are also stable.

Incident

THEY GAVE ALCOHOL INSTEAD OF LIQUID TO THE BABIES

Of the 7 babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Dr. Burhan Nalbantoğlu Emergency Hospital in the capital of the TRNC, Lefkoşa, 20-day-old Mihrimah Toymuradov passed away on the evening of October 25, and 6 babies were intubated.

The process developed after families attempted to enter the hospital, claiming that the nurses on duty in the relevant unit had given medical alcohol to the babies instead of liquid food.

Following the death of one baby, the TRNC Ministry of Health announced on October 27 that the matter had been referred to the judiciary, and the police detained 5 nurses working in the hospital's neonatal unit on October 28.
