BBC World1 min read102 words
A hospital spokesperson told the BBC that the entrance to the neonatal ward is not locked but is continuously staffed by security personnel, a measure intended to safeguard the newborns under its care. The official emphasized that the presence of guards, rather than a locked door, allows authorized staff and visitors to access the unit while preventing unauthorized entry.
Hospital administrators said the security arrangement reflects a broader commitment to maintaining a safe environment for vulnerable patients. By keeping the ward accessible yet monitored, the facility aims to balance the need for rapid medical response with the protection of its infant patients.
