Ten minutes before the first 40-year-old caregiver from the Beit Dafna home in Holon died of food poisoning, she was given medical indices that were normal, the center's director of the health committee said today (Tuesday).
"We have night caregivers who check in during the night and there is a nurse who does rounds. There were several reports of diarrhea and the same tenant actually last time she was measured 10 minutes before she stopped responding and they were normal. "We went to get Manoch to help with her transfer and then that tenant did not respond. We started resuscitation and called the clinic nurse," the director of the center described what happened last Sunday morning at the center.
It was an incident in which three residents died, six were hospitalized and a total of about a quarter of the center's residents (33 out of 131) suffered from diarrhea to host contaminated surfer meat eating.
Dr. Naama Noss, head of epidemiology at the Tel Aviv Health Bureau, noted that "we cannot determine unequivocally what the three hysterics died of. Only blood tests were taken from them."
It also emerged in the hearing that even from the residents who were hospitalized, it was no longer possible to take a stool sample because they did not have diarrhea, and therefore the cause of death and illness could not be determined with certainty.

An engineer from the Ministry of Health also noted that "the Ministry of Health checks the sanitary condition of kitchens in institutions once every four years at the request of the Ministry of Welfare or at the request of a license renewal."
The Ministry of Welfare admitted that the commission of inquiry has not yet been appointed for this case and for a previous case of abuse of sponsors that occurred three months ago at the Bnei Zion institution in Sharon.
The chairman of the health committee, MK Idit Silman, said during the discussion: "If the people there cared that the kitchen would be like home - it would not look like that. The residents in the welfare dormitories need more. "What was happening there is perceived. The terrible findings that were discovered are even after they knew that the Ministry of Health came to check. Where is the supervision and responsibility of the ministries? How can the ministers and directors of the ministries not be present at such a discussion to explain what is happening here?"
Yigal Nachtomi, CEO of Beit Eckstein, who runs the center and even ran the center himself, said, "Hundreds and thousands of people in the entire lineup stand up for only one goal: to do good to people.
The people who died were people I cared for personally.
I put one of the tenants to sleep.
It's a shaky event for us. "Smadar Ona, a former resident of a home the same age, burst out at him and said," Enough with the lies and the nice words.
I was there".
Gali Barami, parent representative of Bakim Israel: "We have complained about the food in the past and have not received the criticism."
Oren Hellman, founder of the Equal Opportunity Initiative for the Integration of People with Disabilities, protested that the names of the deceased sponsors had not been published: "They do not know their names at all. They are less equal? They underestimate the lives of our children."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
