The Pro-Right to Life Foundation submitted a announcement to the territory Attorney's Office in Wrocław. Reason? Shocking words Dr. Gizela Jagielska, Deputy manager of Medical Affairs at the Regional infirmary Complex in Oleśnica, who died in an interview published on 15 May 2025 in the supplement "High Aliens" to Electoral Newspapers.
According to the Foundation, the intelligence reveals a possible crime – leaving a newborn kid without help, resulting in his death.
What did the doctor say?
Fragment of Gizela Jagielska's message raises the top emotions:
“The kid is born and we wait for him to die.”
The doctor describes the case of abortion at 26 weeks of pregnancy, which was carried out without the administration of potassium chloride, a substance causing the fetal heart to halt before delivery. She stresses that the squad was not certain how to proceed after the Constitutional Court's ruling limiting the legality of abortion, and that the female did not agree to the procedure without potassium chloride. As a result, the kid was born alive and left unassisted.
Foundation response
"There was so a situation in which a medical doctor and another members of infirmary medical personnel in Oleśnica did not aid the newborn in a situation of imminent danger to his life and left the kid to die!", says the Foundation's communication.
The Foundation claims that there has been a gross omission – both ethical and legal. It refers to Article 162(1) of the Criminal Code, which penalises the failure to supply assistance to a individual in a life-threatening state, and Article 30 of the Doctor's Professional Act, requiring intervention in cases where hold may cost the patient's life.
The Foundation besides recalls the constitutional protection of the life and legal position of a kid born as a individual and patient. According to current medical recommendations, children born in the 25th week of pregnancy and later are entitled to full CPR and treatment. The case described by the medicine. Jagielska concerns a kid of 26 weeks – according to medical knowledge, able to live with appropriate help.
Law, ethics, trust
"Medical professions are professions of public trust," the Foundation emphasises. “The public has the right to anticipate that they will be performed with utmost care and in accordance with ethical standards.”
The Communication calls for the D.A. to fulfil its obligations on this matter.
“It remains to be hoped that those guilty of the death of a newborn kid deliberately left to die will not stay unpunished.”
