The detention of doctors was conducted simultaneously in different maternity hospitals of Georgia - in Zestafoni, Khoni, Samtrediya, Kutaisi and Tbilisi, as reported by the "GHN" Agency.

Among the detainees is the chief physician of the Tskhaltubo maternity hospital, who recruited, with the help of his subordinates, the lying-in women, who were ready to refuse from their newborns for large sums of money. According to the MIA of Georgia such lying-in women were taken to maternity hospitals without registration, as reported by the "Interfax".
