11 babies killed in hospital fire in Senegal

Eleven newborn babies died in a fire at a hospital in Senegal. Sall, president of the West African country, reports this. A fire has broken out in the town of Tivaouane, about 120 kilometers east of the capital Dakar.

According to a local official, a short circuit has occurred at the recently opened Mame Abdou Aziz Sy Dabakh hospital. Three babies have been rescued, the mayor said.

“I heard of the death of babies with pain and horror,” President Sall said on social media. He expressed his condolences to the grieving families.

Incidents are more common in hospitals in Senegal. Four newborn babies died in a fire at a hospital in the north of the country in late April. Then there was a short circuit in the air conditioner.

A month ago, a pregnant woman died in a hospital in the northwest of the country. She was waiting for a cesarean section, but could not get help. Three nurses were convicted two weeks ago. The woman’s death sparked outrage in Senegal over the poor state of the health care system.
