Overview
- The Departament de Salut announced on June 12 that Vall d'Hebron, Sant Joan de Déu, Sant Pau and the CAP Roger de Flor will each be fined €6,000 for shortcomings in how earlier medical visits were handled.
- The infant was admitted to Vall d'Hebron on 16 March with injuries that treating doctors said were not accidental, including fractured femurs, rib injuries, brain damage compatible with shaking, and a severe anal tear.
- Both parents were detained in March on allegations including child abuse and sexual assault; the father remains in pretrial detention and the mother was released with restrictions after judicial review.
- The judge has ordered seizure of the parents' phones, forensic tests for human biological material, and psychiatric evaluations of both accused as hospital staff and family members give testimony.
- The child is under Generalitat tutela and placed with a foster family, and the fines underscore tighter administrative scrutiny of whether hospitals followed mandatory child‑protection protocols when the baby was seen earlier.
