Pastinfo newspaper reports that twin newborns died at St. Grigor Lusavorich Medical Center today.

The mother’s sister provided Pastinfo with the details of the incident: “My sister was going to give birth to her twin daughters. A month ago, the amniotic fluid of one of the daughters flowed. The mother called the doctor, and the latter said it was normal. She went to see the doctor, was under supervision, and the doctor said everything was fine. She would undergo checkups every week, her heartbeat was normal. Yesterday she felt pain, and her mother-in-law took her to the hospital. The doctor took a look at her and said everything was fine. The mother-in-law said she should lie and be under doctors’ supervision, but the doctor claimed that she should go home and take the required medicine. My sister went home and felt pain again. My sister gave birth through C-section a year-and-a-half ago.

She had to give birth through C-section again since she couldn’t have a child on her own, if three years hadn’t expired after the first C-section. However, the doctors said she had to have the children on her own. She was taken to the maternity ward and given narcosis. When we asked the doctors why narcosis was given when she had to give birth on her own, the doctor justified himself and said the first child was already dead when she was born, and the doctors had to check the second child and that is why the mother was given narcosis. The doctors say both children were dead when they were born. However, if they had checked the mother all this time and the fetuses were normal, how did this happen?” the mother’s sister said.

The relatives blame the doctors for this and say they must be brought to justice and will be consistent. They claim that the mother had to be under doctors’ supervision, but was sent home.
