Multan’s Nishtar Medical College Hospital has responded to claims that doctors’ negligence led to the death of a female patient.
Hours after a viral video – recorded on Dec 18 – showed the patient’s son grieving and accusing hospital staffers of refusing blood transfusion to his mother, officials assured the affected family that if doctors were found guilty of negligence, strict action would be taken.
Per the details of the patient, the family had brought her to the hospital for a stomach ailment but she died during treatment.
A video recorded shortly after the death showed the survivors of the deceased accusing the medical staff of negligence in handling the case.
The patient’s son claimed that doctors asked the family to arrange blood for transfusion but failed to administer it in time.
“The doctor told us to arrange blood, but they did not transfuse it to my mother on time, which led to her death,” he said.
The video also showed at least one doctor in the emergency ward showing the grieving family his middle finger as they sought answers.
Said house officer has been suspended, the hospital administration said.
