A resident of Novosibirsk faced a troubling account concerning the care of her adopted daughter, who has an HIV diagnosis, while hospitalized. Reports fromkp.ru describe the concerns raised by the mother about the treatment her child received during a hospital stay.
The family said the 10-year-old girl was admitted because she had a kidney condition requiring evaluation and treatment. The mother described a sequence of events that left her worried about her child’s basic needs being met while in the hospital.
According to the mother, she could not stay with her daughter, but they spoke regularly by phone. During a video call, the girl told her she had not been given sheets to cover herself and was resting under only a blanket. The mother expressed shock at the situation, questioning how a child could be left without proper bedding in a clinical setting.
When she returned to the hospital the following day to seek clarity, staff indicated that the issue stemmed from a mistake by a nurse. The family emphasized that the incident appeared to involve a lapse in basic care rather than a single miscommunication.
In addition to the bedding concern, the mother reported that her daughter did not receive hospital meals for an entire day and depended on food she had prepared for her daughter to eat. This raised questions about the consistency of nourishment and the overall quality of in-patient care in the facility.
The case has prompted discussions about the experiences of children with immunodeficiency or other chronic conditions in medical settings, and how hospitals ensure dignity and basic comfort for younger patients. Observers note that proper sleep, nutrition, and a secure environment are essential components of pediatric care, particularly for children with ongoing health needs.
Authorities and hospital representatives have been urged to review patient care protocols, staff training, and oversight procedures to prevent similar occurrences. While official responses vary, the episode has become a point of reference in local conversations about hospital standards and patient safety. This incident has been documented by independent news outlets and is cited here for context and accountability. [kp.ru]
