Another unfortunate incident has occurred in connection with kindergartens. Two young girls were poisoned at one of these institutions in the Pakhtakor district of the Jizzakh region. The parents of the affected children have appealed to the children’s ombudsman, requesting an investigation into the situation and for those responsible to be held accountable.
The incident took place on August 2 when two kindergarten students, girls born in 2019 and 2020, suddenly developed a high fever. Concerned about their children’s condition, the parents immediately took them to the district medical facility, where the children were hospitalized in the infectious diseases ward with suspected food poisoning.
Following a request from the ombudsman, the Jizzakh region prosecutor’s office promptly began an investigation into the case. During the epidemiological investigation, samples of the food served to the children for breakfast were collected.
Additionally, on the same day, doctors examined all other students of the kindergarten, totaling 14 children. They were also temporarily placed under medical observation; however, no additional cases of poisoning were found, and the children were sent home.
The prosecutor’s office is currently continuing the preliminary investigation, and a legal decision will be made based on the results of the examination. The situation is under the personal control of the ombudsman.
This incident once again raises concerns about the quality of food and oversight in kindergartens. Parents have every right to demand responsible action from the authorities to prevent such incidents from recurring and to ensure that children are in safe conditions.
