A pharmaceutical company has admitted supplying contaminated feed for premature babies that allegedly caused the death of a nine-day-old boy.
An investigation was launched after three babies, including Yousef Al-Kharboush, died and another 20 needed treatment when they developed Bacillus Cereus bacteraemia linked to ITH Pharma’s supply of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to 14 hospitals in 2014.
The infants were given the fluid as nutrition because they were unable to feed on their own between May 27 and June 2, 2014.
