Moscow: Russian police have arrested the chief physician and the acting head of intensive care at a Siberian hospital where nine babies died this month, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The case, which has shone a spotlight at chronic staff shortages and funding gaps in the country's medical system, has provoked anger and bewilderment from Russian politicians and online commentators.
Prosecutors have charged the pair with negligence and causing death through negligence, Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement.
The exact causes of the deaths at Novokuznetsk Maternity Hospital No. 1 are not yet known.
But regional health authorities said the babies were all suffering from a range of diseases passed on during childbirth or pregnancy.
