ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkish health authorities are
investigating the deaths of 13 newborn babies at a hospital in one
day.
The babies - all of them premature - died over the weekend at a
hospital in the western city of Izmir.
Mehmet Ozkan, who heads the Izmir health department, says a team
of investigators is looking into the deaths.
Turkish newspapers have suggested that a hospital infection may
have caused the deaths.
In July, more than two-dozen newborns died at a hospital in the
capital, Ankara. Government-appointed doctors investigating the
deaths said a shortage of personnel was to blame.

This is very sad! And to blame it on SHORTAGE of personnel, I’d be highly upset at this…My heart goes out to these families as I know the pain in losing a child at birth…
