The Veneto region is looking for those responsible for the water contamination in the Verona hospital that caused the death of at least 4 children. The director of the Veronese healthcare company, Chiara Bovo, who is now at very high risk of suspension, has been attacked. The CEO of Venetian Health, Domenico Mantoan, took a position and asked that “all necessary controls be carried out to identify possible responsibilities” and that “all urgent measures be taken.”
The disciplinary decision that would lead to Bovo’s suspension rests with the Veronese hospital, in the person of general manager Francesco Cobello, who received the letter from regional leaders and now has 24 hours to decide how to move. At the moment, “no action has been taken,” they say from the hospital. The objective is to present a report with the “counterarguments” but first they hope to have “all the useful elements for any further action”. At that time, the Region may or may not accept them.
Outside the hospital, the strongest pain remains, that of mothers who have seen their children die in the place that should have protected them from the first hours of life. But the water was polluted. Citrobacter koseri lurked in the jets of some taps in the neonatal intensive care unit: 96 babies were infected through bottles. Four died and five suffered permanent brain damage.
Whose responsibility is it? The report of the inspection commission of the Veneto region lists numerous deficiencies in the compliance with hygienic-sanitary regulations, protocols on the sterilization of hands and bottles. And the lack of communication to the institutional bodies of the ongoing epidemic is described. The document was acquired by the Nas who also seized the medical records of the deaths. Everything ended up at the table of Judge Diletta Schiaffino who, regarding the incident, opened a file, currently against unknown persons, for multiple homicide.
Meanwhile, messages threatening hospital workers have appeared on social media and brochures have been posted outside the facilities for the families of unborn children: “To all Borgo Trento patients, watch out for work of doctors “. The Nursing Up union’s reaction was immediate, saying: “Denigrating health workers only brings discomfort and mistrust.” The CISL Fp Verona also intervened on the matter, presenting a complaint to the prosecutor.
