The case of the death of Saray Sofía Godoy in the facilities of the Homi La Misericordia foundation hospital has been under investigation, so taking into account the words of the prosecutor José Manuel Martínez Malaver, two people, workers of the medical institution, will be charged with guilty crime.
According to the director of the Sectional in the capital, a failure occurred at the time a drug known as hydroxyzine was administered. Consequently, the amounts allowed would have exceeded the regulations, which led to the death of the minor.
