Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the hospital staff's comments as disgusting, sickening, and shameful, reflecting the gravity of the situation.
Health authorities have banned the two hospital staff from any healthcare work due to their appalling remarks, underscoring the seriousness of the allegations.
