ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkish health authorities are
investigating the deaths of 13 newborn babies at a hospital in one
day.
The babies - all of them premature - died over the weekend at a
hospital in the western city of Izmir.
Mehmet Ozkan, who heads the Izmir health department, says a team
of investigators is looking into the deaths.
Turkish newspapers have suggested that a hospital infection may
have caused the deaths.
In July, more than two-dozen newborns died at a hospital in the
capital, Ankara. Government-appointed doctors investigating the
deaths said a shortage of personnel was to blame.
