In the Shofirkon district of Bukhara region, an incident occurred that caused a stir on social media. The relatives of the new mother created a scandal in the local maternity hospital, accusing doctors of extorting money for the discharge of the young mother and her newborn baby. The conflict escalated to the point where the relatives broke down the entrance door of the facility.

According to the doctors, both the mother and her child had medical reasons to remain in the hospital for some time. On the third day after birth, the baby was vaccinated against hepatitis B and tuberculosis (BCG), after which the baby became restless and needed monitoring due to post-vaccination reactions.

However, the woman’s relatives, including her father-in-law and husband, insisted on her immediate discharge. When the doctors refused, the relatives caused a scene, claiming that the medical staff was demanding money for the discharge. The conflict then escalated into property damage, as the relatives broke the hospital’s door.

According to the Bukhara Regional Health Department, the mother was discharged the same evening at the insistence of her relatives, despite the doctors’ recommendations. Law enforcement authorities are now investigating the incident, conducting a preliminary inquiry into the conflict.

The situation has raised questions for both sides, and the outcome of the investigation will determine whether this was indeed extortion by the medical staff or simply a precautionary measure to protect the newborn’s health.
