In Bishkek, a former obstetrician-gynecologist from one of the city's clinics has been detained by the October District Police Department. The 61-year-old woman, identified as A.B., is suspected of being involved in the sale of children.
Earlier, a newborn baby died in a Bishkek maternity house. The General Prosecutor's Office accused the staff of the Child Rehabilitation and Family Support Center of negligence. A case of negligence has been initiated against the responsible individuals from the October District Police Department and social services, who took the baby from the mother and transferred him to the maternity house.
