BUCHAREST: The fire, apparently caused by an electrical fault in the air conditioning system, swept through the Giulesti hospital in Bucharest.

Health Minister Attila Cseke described Monday’s fire as ‘one of the darkest tragedies in the history of the Romanian healthcare system’.

In all, eight babies sustained serious burns and were moved for treatment.

Health ministry official Raed Arafat announced the death of a fourth baby on Tuesday after three babies had died on Monday.

Dan George Enescu, head of the Bucharest children’s hospital, described the surviving babies’ condition as “extremely critical”.

Prosecutor-in-chief Marius Iacob said the fire had started in the neonatal intensive care unit:
