All admissions into Bucharest’s Giulesti Maternity Clinic were stopped starting with Friday, and 68 scheduled surgeries were deferred to other hospitals, after more cases in which newborns birthed at the institution were found infected with drug-resistant bacteria.

The condition of the newborns injured in the August 16 fire in a Bucharest maternity hospital is unchanged from previous days, with one baby in critical state and the rest stable.

Ten Israeli doctors arrived in Bucharest to help the seven Romanian newborn babies severely injured in an explosion which took place Monday at the Giulesti maternity hospital, Bucharest Hospital Administration general manager Marius Savu said Wednesday.

Three newborn babies were killed in the intensive care unit of the Giulesti maternity hospital in Bucharest on Monday, in an explosion caused by an electrical fault, people close to the matter said.

Romania’s Government will repeal the laws regulating trousseaus for newborns and financial aid for newlyweds, according to a draft emergency decree to reduce social spending.

The Romanian State will open for each newborn child an education fund representing the equivalent of EUR500 in lei, according to the new draft education law.
