Babies' deaths cast shadow on Egypt's health care
By Alaa Shahine
CAIRO (Reuters) - The video shows a poorly lit hospital nursery filled with premature babies in incubators. Doctors are frantically trying to resuscitate some babies while others wail in the background after a night-time power cut.
"God help us! Five are suffering from (cardiac) arrests?" a voice in the background says angrily. "We can handle one or two at most, but five?"
"This is natural, doctor. It's been an hour and a half," says another male voice, apparently referring to the length of the power cut.
