YEREVAN. – A newborn has died on October 20, at a hospital in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan.

Police informed about the aforementioned to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The dead baby’s uncle called Armenian News-NEWS.am and said the physician who was administrating over the delivery of this newborn is the one at fault for this death.

“We blame the doctor because she didn’t provide necessary assistance in time, she didn’t perform a c-section, and then she took the child out by damaging,” he noted, in particular.  

The man added that, initially, the mother of this newborn was not to undergo a c-section. But when the woman had felt ill during delivery, she had asked the said physician to perform a c-section, but the doctor had disregarded her request.

The physician in question told Armenian News-NEWS.am that she could not respond to any questions at this time.

The Investigative Committee informed that a criminal case has been launched into the incident.

According to preliminary autopsy, the newborn had died of a brain injury.
