Bern – In the Berner Inselspital, the third baby to be given the wrong medicine has also died. The Office of Investigations has reported that investigations are underway to find out if the infant's death was a direct cause of having received the wrong medication. At the moment, it remains to be seen whether the baby died of its illness or due to the medical mix-up.

In December, three infants were given the wrong nutrient solution at the Children’s Hospital in Bern. One died due to the mix-up, and the second died due to the illness for which it was being treated. (la/sda)
