The director of the Madeleine clinic, the gynecologist Mahmoud Aidibé, the pediatrician, Hussein Jubaily, the caregiver Adjia Seynabou Diallo and the nurse Madeleine Faye appeared in the special audience at the bar of the Dakar Criminal Court. They responded from the death of a newborn baby in the health structure on October 9, 2021. Pursued for having committed an involuntary homicide on a newborn baby and having exposed it to an immediate risk of death, the four defendants all challenged the facts. According to the accusation, the baby died of burns.
The pediatrician refuted it by arguing that the baby had jaundice the day after the birth. Hussein Jubaily said they are skin lesions because there was no warmth in the room. The director of the clinic comforted him and confirmed that the baby suffered from genetic disease. “I have never felt the smell of a charred baby but skin lesions and not a burnt baby. This child died from a genetic disease from which parents suffered and not by asphyxiation. His skin was not burnt out but had taken off. It is the epidermis that has taken off, ”said Mahmoud.
The caregiver also dismissed the thesis of the burn. Nurse Madeleine Faye said she was dealing with other babies at the time of the facts. The victim’s father accused the negligence clinic and said that “the machines were obsolete and were not maintained and that his child felt burned and had burns in the face, body and abdomen”. His advice claimed 200 million for each of the civil parties. The prosecution requested the release of the director of the clinic. He asked that the other defendants be sentenced to 2 years, including 6 months firm and a fine of 300,000 FCFA for each. The defense pleaded the relaxation against the constant denials of the defendants and the lack of expertise to determine the cause of the death.
