The prosecution has requested seven years of psychiatric treatment and disqualification for the Kabiezes nurse

The Public Prosecutor's Office has requested acquittal for the nurse tried for simulating vaccinations at the Kabiezes Health Centre in Santurtzi, considering that delusional disorder "completely exempts her", and has therefore proposed the introduction of 7-year psychiatric treatment and disqualification for health diseases .

It was just this Friday that the last session of the trial against this nurse was held in the Court of Bizkaia. The woman worked from February 2021 to September 2022 at the Kabiezes Paediatrics Service and was responsible for administering vaccines for more than 400 minors.

Following last Thursday's report by forensic psychiatry experts, in which the nurse ruled that she was suffering from mental disorder, the Public Prosecutor's Office has decided to amend the initial letter to state that the defendant had "a disorder of delusional ideas, which caused her to completely nullify her cognitive capacity for the alleged facts."

Thus, the prosecutor has changed his request for a sentence; and instead of the seven and a half years' imprisonment he had initially requested, including for damages and documentary falsehood, he has now applied for acquittal on the condition that the above-mentioned psychiatric treatment and disqualification be applied.

The representatives of Osakidetza, the College of Nursing and the Defense have joined this request, while the private prosecution representing half a hundred families has upheld the request for imprisonment, albeit less than the initial one, and has requested a sentence of seven and a half years' imprisonment.

Under surveillance since the complaints.

Health Counselor Alberto Martinez has assured that Osakidetza placed a person to "take care" of the nurse who has been tried for simulation of vaccinations at the Kabiezes health center in Anturtzi as soon as she became aware of what was happening, after receiving the first complaints.

Martinez has thus answered questions from the media when asked not why the nurse had not been removed from her job. The Chief Executive has assured that, as soon as she heard of the first complaints in Osakidetza, "a person stood next to her to look after that person until it was established that the complaints that had arrived were actually made".

"From there, the nurse was closely monitored," he emphasizes, while "a study was carried out of patients treated by her to see what the serological examination was."

After this verification, and with all this, "the reasons were established, what was happening was known, and decisions were made," he concludes.
