Video shows attempts of Doctors to save lives in a power blackout

Global voices tells the story of the harrowing latest use of video.

Two doctors in the Al Matrya teaching hospital in Egypt shot video which has been posted to You Tube of their unsuccessful battles to keep 4 babies and two adults alive when a power blackout.

This is an extract from their blog

Last week Al Matrya educational hospital had seen a tragedy on the 22nd of May 2008 when a power outage took place , yes Power 8 outage took place for two hours leading to the dramatic death of 4 babies in the neonatal intensive care.
You must know before this outage on the 22nd of May , the hospital witnessed an another outage from three weeks before for 5 minutes and you must know that the back up electric generators did not work !!
More important you must know that the administration of that hospital in Cairo that follows the ministry of health knew that. You must know that the administration of that hospital faked the time of death of those infants three hours before the outage so it would escape the legal accountability !!
