Midwife

The Ministry of Health is examining a report concerning Elena Venizelou maternity ward, titled “Regarding legality of emergency times at of medical and health personnel of the hospital.”  The report by General Adminstrative Superviser Leandros Rakintzis brings a number of infringements to light, including a Greek vet that was found offering his services as an obstetritian in the pathology ward.

Midwife Emilia Kovacheva charged with hurting the 4-day old baby in private hospital Sofiamed, has had seven 24-hour shifts every month, plus her regular 8-hour daily shifts. This is a direct violation to the Bulgarian labor code.

Emiliya Kovacheva, a midwife who beat a 4-day-old baby, regularly worked 24 hours on duty without a break, according to a preliminary report of Bulgaria's Executive Agency ?Medical Audit" (EAMA).

The Sofia Court of Appeals has ruled that Emiliya Kovacheva, a midwife who beat a 4-day-old baby, is to remain under arrest.

The measure has been imposed after her 72-hour detention period ended on Thursday.

A midwife at a hospital in Bulgaria's capital Sofia is now under arrest after inflicting grievous bodily harm on a newborn baby this week.

The measure is imposed for 72 hours (until Sunday), but prosecution is expected to request that she remain in detention.
