In Moscow, after numerous complaints by patients, the head of the maternity ward at the Clinical Hospital named after S. I. Spasokukotsky (former maternity hospital No. 27) Marina Sarmosyan. The manager is suspected of negligence (Article 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and the provision of services that do not meet safety requirements (Article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The Savyolovsky District Court of Moscow decided to detain her for two months.

An investigation into the staff of maternity hospital No. 27 began on the basis of statements by four patients whose children suffered during childbirth. After an internal audit of the Moscow City Health Administration, the entire management of the branch was dismissed in its entirety. In place of Sarmosyan was appointed Elena Semeykina, who previously headed the hospital at the State Clinical Hospital named after Botkin.

“According to the results of internal internal audit and departmental control measures related to the numerous requests of patients regarding the activities of the maternity hospital“ City Clinical Hospital named after S. I. Spasokukotsky DZM "a decision was made to dismiss Marina Aramaisovna Sarmosyan, the head of the branch of the maternity hospital, as well as the dismissal of the heads of all departments of the maternity hospital," said the Moscow City Health Ministry.

“Maternity hospital No. 27 continues its work, all patients are under the supervision and constant monitoring of medical personnel,” the department emphasized.

Complaints of victims

Tatyana Bengraf is one of the patients who made allegations against the hospital. She believes that due to the actions of doctors, her daughter became disabled. According to Tatyana, during the birth, doctors under the leadership of Sarmosyan used extremely aggressive methods, which caused irreparable harm to the health of her daughter: first, the doctors allowed an overdose of epidural anesthesia, and then resorted to “squeezing” the fetus, which is dangerous both for the woman in labor and for the child. As a result, the girl survived a clinical death.

“In the 27 maternity hospital in Moscow, they ruined me under a contract for 160 thousand healthy and full-term babies, weighing 3,760, with perfect tests and a wonderful pregnancy! Tatyana told Facebook. - Everything is very, very bad. The child has a page of diagnoses, ranging from central nervous system damage, cerebral palsy (tetraparesis), focal epilepsy, pseudobulbar syndrome, a history of generalized sepsis and CMV (taken up in intensive care), several pneumonia, bronchitis, acute colitis, and much, much more. ”

The woman claims that gross errors were made both during childbirth and during resuscitation of a newborn baby. Tatyana also accuses the head and employees of the maternity hospital of substituting medical documents for the purpose of "covering up the traces" of the crimes committed, and emphasizes that her daughter is not the only one injured at the hands of the doctors of the maternity hospital No. 27.

“A child of Ira and Kirill Yudin brought streptococcus, which led to meningitis, and the child now lives unconscious in intensive care for more than six months! Fast Valeria was killed in a child by overdosing with EA [epidural anesthesia] and squeezed out of a child’s hygroma instead of the cerebral cortex. Maria Kasatkina was overdosed by EA and squeezed out; a child with a tracheostomy was on mechanical ventilation for several months. All children have palliative status, everyone was sent home to die! ”- Bengraf writes on Facebook.

She continues to publish stories of people whose children were injured in the same hospital.

Many of them note that Sarmosyan advocated natural childbirth and refused to appoint a Caesarean section for women in labor. According to Bengraf, the former head of the department was personally present at the birth of three of the four women in labor who contacted law enforcement agencies with accusations against the hospital.

Sarmosyan support

The relatives of Marina Sarmosyan were outraged by the harshness of the preventive measure chosen for her. In a conversation with RT, the woman’s daughter Tamara stated that she considers the decision of the Savyolovsky district court to be “a glaring example of legal lawlessness” - according to her, the investigation did not provide any evidence of Marina Sarmosyan’s involvement in the crimes she was charged with. According to the interlocutor of RT, the arrested did not take personal part in taking birth from the affected women.

“Instead of sorting out the circumstances of the case, conducting an due diligence, ordering and conducting the necessary forensic examinations, the investigation and the court considered it possible to detain an innocent person, a doctor with many years of experience and a brilliant reputation, suspected of a reckless crime, citing general unproven arguments that, being at large Sarmosyan M.A. may obstruct justice, ”Tamara resents.

The arrest was a complete surprise to all loved ones, the daughter of a doctor admits.

“I don’t know what the check was there, but nobody knew about the fact that mass layoffs of doctors and, moreover, the arrest were being prepared. I believe that the court will figure it out, and I hope that it will be held honestly, "" the woman notes.

“The only reason I am perplexed is why my mother was arrested under the article on negligence as a measure of restraint. Such a preventive measure is prescribed to criminals who kill people, serial criminals, and it’s nonsense for my mother to give such a preventive measure, ”she adds.

It is worth noting that Marina Sarmosyan is a candidate of medical sciences with twenty years of experience. In November 2019, the maternity hospital led by her received the international status of WHO and UNICEF, "A child-friendly hospital." Many cannot believe the involvement of such a respected physician in serious crimes - in support of Sarmosyan they even created a petition on the Change.org website.

The dismissed doctors of maternity hospital No. 27 are still shocked by the current situation - they tell reporters that they did not explain the reasons for what was happening, although many of them were not even involved in the stories of the affected women in labor.

The media also voiced the version that the true reason for the scandalous dismissals could be the closure for the repair of the hospital at the State Clinical Hospital named after Botkin - his employees replaced the laid-off doctors at the State Clinical Hospital named after Spasokukotsky.
