Four doctors were put
under house arrest and six others were suspended on Thursday in
relation to a probe by prosecutors in Reggio Calabria into
alleged cover-ups of medical malpractice, ANSA sources said. A
midwife was also suspended over the probe into alleged
wrongdoing at the obstetrics and gynaecology, neonatology and
anaesthetic departments of the southern city's Ospedali Riuniti
hospitals. The probe, which began from wiretaps obtained in an
an anti-mafia case, reportedly covers the suspicious deaths of
two newborn babies. Among those involved are the head and the
former head of the obstetrics and gynaecology department,
Alessandro Tripodi and Pasquale Vadal.
