Quoting teaschip: Quoting gordios: Quoting teaschip: Quoting gordios: yes that is sad and today i saw a dead newborn´s father´s picture on web and he was carrying his baby in a cartoon diaper box and he said that he took the baby in that box from the hospital,that is what newspaper says. |
Did they do an autopsy on these babies?  This is so sad, don´t they have a normal burial for babies?  |
no info about autopsy and hospital has no burial for the baby, baby´s family will arrange the burial.i think none of those families did ask for the autopsy. |
That is so sad. I would have thought that with so many, the hospital would have ordered autoposy´s on these babies to find out the REAL cause of death. What if its an epidemic? If this happened where I live, the media and the public would be going nuts demanding the cause.
Does this happen typically in Turkish Hospitals that so many babies die at once? |
Normally in the UK when an unexptectd death occurs, the coronor is informed and it is normally he/she who calls for the post mortum (autopsy in American!)although families can request an autopsy if they are not satisfied. This is a awful tragedy and I must agree, some sort of investigation should be held into the deaths.

It says these babies where between 800gms (a bag of sugar) and 1200 gms (a bag of flour), they are incredibly small and even with sophisticated equipment I guess they would be lucky to survive. There lungs would not be properly developed. I think what also worries me though, is that fact there were 13 prem babies all born about the same time and they are born in a research hospital.

What should worry everyone is that is did not happen only in Ankara and Izmir but quoting Today´s Zaman:
´...a recent rise in infant deaths across Turkey, with five infants dying in Edirne, two in Manisa, seven in Kayseri, five in İstanbul, 47 in Ankara and 13 in İzmir...´
a total of 79 dead babies!!!

Yes, and how incredible it is the number of low weight births. Why is this happening? Poor nutrician, poor anti-natal care, complacency?? I also was quite amazed that the parents one baby who say they found out their baby had died through the newspaper, why were they not with their poorly child?
In the UK the normal weight for a new born is around 3 - 4 kg.

The chances of any baby this small living are very slim, but the fact that so many died at once needs looking into and also why so many women went into premature labour needs investigating.
