An infant in Uzgen underwent incisions on the back. He passed away.
It was previously reported that the cause of the child's death could have been hijama (bloodletting). Upon admission to the medical facility, doctors recorded a sharp decrease in the infant's hemoglobin level to 43, as well as significant blood loss.
In Kyrgyzstan, there have already been cases of health deterioration and even fatalities following hijama procedures.
The Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan has repeatedly urged the population to avoid using the hijama method. The department emphasizes that this method is not licensed as a medical procedure and warns of the risks of infection transmission through blood.
