BEIJING -- Hospital officials in the northern Chinese city of Xi’an have been punished after a pregnant woman miscarried after being refused entry, reportedly for not having current COVID-19 test results.
The city government announced Thursday that Gaoxin Hospital General Manager Fan Yuhui has been suspended and the heads of the outpatient department and medical department sacked.
A government statement said the incident had “caused widespread concern in society and caused a severe social impact.”
The woman waited outside the hospital on a pink plastic stool on New Year's Day until she started bleeding. In a video taken by her husband that was circulated widely, a pool of blood was visible by her feet.
