Dr. Pavel Itzikson, former director of the hospital's fertility laboratory, has had his lab management license permanently revoked, while embryologist Yevgeny Yakoblev lost his professional certification for two years. The disciplinary actions follow a high-profile mix-up in which an embryo was mistakenly transferred to the wrong couple, resulting in the birth of a child, Sofia, who was not genetically related to the parents who raised her. The incident exposed significant failures in laboratory protocols and management at the facility. After a lengthy legal dispute, the courts decided that Sofia would remain with the couple who raised her since birth.
