BABY ‘ABDUCTED’ IN FUNCHAL: PARENTS DID NOT OBEY MEDICAL ADVICE

The unprecedented episode that took place this morning at Hospital Dr. Nélio Mendonça has just been confirmed by Rafaela Fernandes, chairman of the Board of Directors of SESARAM.

Rafaela Nunes explains that the two parents did not follow the guidance of the medical and nursing team. This is because, as he explains, “the baby’s discharge was dependent on referral to the Commission of Young Children at Risk, after evaluation by the Social Service”.

He added that, in view of the situation, the intervention of the PSP was requested to “prevent the baby from being taken without clinical discharge”.
