POLICE are investigating whether the deaths of eight newborn babies in a Russian hospital during the first 10 days of January were caused by frequent power outages, media reported yesterday.
The eight infants were linked up to artificial respiration units in the hospital in the North Caucasus city of Nalchik, the capital of Russia's Kabardino-Balkaria, according to reports. The Life News Internet site said the hospital saw frequent outages during the first half of January. "When there were blackouts, nurses and doctors were pumping oxygen manually ... And the next day there was a power outage again. Then we learned that our baby died," a mother of one of the babies told the website.
