Twelve infants out of sixteen being treated for ingesting excessive dosages of phenobarbital were released from intensive care at the National Centre for Maternal and Children's Health (NCMCH) and are now able to return home says the Director of the National Center for Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH), Sh.Enkhtur.

He says that all sixteen infants that received the excessive doses of phenobarbital have recovered from severe poisoning symptoms. Twelve of them are now able to leave the hospital and return to their homes. But four will remain in the hospital for treatment of jaundice and background check-ups that are not yet complete. The 12 infants between the ages of one to three months will be released to their guardians and district hospitals will conduct check-ups.

The parents of the poisoned infants want to ensure that there are no aftereffects from the phenobarbital poisoning in the future and demanded confirmation from health organizations.

Director of NCMCH Sh.Enkhtur said, “There will be no aftereffects of phenobarbital for the infants in the future."
