The family of three-year-old Tayron Lionel is seeking a formal investigation into alleged medical malpractice at the Hospital Regional Río Grande in Argentina following the child’s death. The family claims the child was discharged after an initial diagnosis of mild gastritis despite exhibiting severe symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.

Preliminary autopsy results indicate the child died from undiagnosed pneumonia. In response to the tragedy, the family organized a peaceful march at the hospital under the slogan ‘let it not happen to any more children’ to demand justice and honor the child with three minutes of silence. Family spokesperson Gisel stated the death could have been avoided if the child had not been sent home without proper medical analysis.
