A heartbroken man has narrated how his brother passed away
at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) due to the alleged negligence
of medical personnel. According to the bereaved identified as Yommy, his
brother named Segun (pictured below) died at the hospital despite all the
screams from him that the case was an emergency.
He alleged that the hospital officials ignored him for hours
and later attended to his brother but by that time, it was already late. His
brother passed away in his arms.
Read below what the heartbroken man shared on Facebook;
All the General Hospital in Nigeria is nothing but a dead
zone center where every patient is not sure of coming back alive. Their
nonchalant attitude killed my brother. We got to navy town hospital they said
no facilities to treat him that we should go to Lagos university teaching
hospital.(Luth) we got there around after six(6).
We were shouting emergency emergency emergency nobody
answered not even the security were moved. Then I call a matron working there
she was off duty but did her best to call some people on duty. Despite are call
they didn't answer. my brother was
struggling for breath in held him telling him the we never plan to depart this
way.
He was calling my name and other peoples name. I was
shouting doctor pls nurse pls don't let my brother die. they didn't answer even
people around that brought patients they said that is how they use to do.
All efforts was abortive my brother struggled for more than
5 hours. It was even inside the small shuttle bus inside the hospital compound
they gave him drip. All what they requested for we gave them. It was past 8 my
brother stop struggling he became weak couldn't breath again was just moving his
legs.
That was when they brought their bed for us to put him
Inside it was not up to 10 minutes I was asked to control myself that my
brother is gone.
They killed my brother because he wasn't given attention
despite having money to purchase all they requested for. My GOD will judge them
all. Segun rest on and sleep well I will forever miss you. Sun re.
Why are hospital staff so insensitive? They have no regard for human life.
Like death is nothing.
RIP...
