A tragic event has shaken the community, with the death of Margaret Spada, a 22-year-old girl originally from Syracuse, which occurred at the Sant’Eugenio hospital in Rome. The death occurred after a rhinoplasty operation that took place in an outpatient clinic of a medical center in the capital, located in the Eur area.
Lack of authorization for the intervention
The President of the Lazio Region, Francesco Rocca, announced that the clinic where Margaret was operated was not authorized for surgical activities.
