Mother blames Bohol public hospital for death of 9-month-old baby<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nShe said she brought her daughter to the hospital on March 3 due to fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.<\/p>\n
They were entertained and given medicine. A laboratory examination was also requested for the infant’s stool and urine analysis.<\/p>\n
When they went home, the baby was still experiencing the same symptoms. So she brought her again to GCGMMC on March 4.<\/p>\n
Igang insisted that her daughter should be admitted, but she was told the baby was okay.<\/p>\n
The baby was given Oresol, an oral rehydration solution used to treat moderate dehydration.<\/p>\n
When they reached home, the infant’s condition worsened.<\/p>\n
She was pulling her hair and biting herself as if she was experiencing a lot of pain in her head and body.<\/p>\n
On March 5, the baby was brought again to GCGMMC.<\/p>\n
Igang said she expected that her daughter would be okay after an intravenous insertion in the leg.<\/p>\n
However, the infant did not recover.<\/p>\n
Had GCGMMC allowed her daughter to be admitted, Igang said the baby would not have died.<\/p>\n
“They were so slow in attending to my daughter. If only my daughter was admitted, she should have survived,” she said.<\/p>\n
Despite the incident, GCGMMC said they remained dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to all their patients, and are committed to continuously improving our services.<\/p>\n
GCGMMC added they would share the results of the investigation with the family as soon as they are finalized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
