Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s family accuse hospital of negligence over son’s death
Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s family has accused a hospital in Nigeria of negligence in the death of their son. The tragic incident occurred at St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos on June 7, where the family’s 29-year-old son was admitted for a brief illness.
According to the family, the hospital staff failed to provide adequate and timely care, leading to the unexpected death of their son. They claim that there were delays in attending to him, essential tests were not conducted promptly, and medical procedures were not carried out effectively.
In response to these allegations, St. Nicholas Hospital released a statement expressing their condolences to the family but refuting the claims of negligence. The hospital stated that all necessary medical protocols were followed, and every effort was made to save the patient’s life.
The family’s motive appears to be seeking accountability for the alleged lapses in medical care that they believe contributed to their son’s death. On the other hand, the hospital has an interest in maintaining its reputation and defending the professionalism of its staff.
The incident has sparked a wave of discussions around healthcare standards in Nigeria and the importance of ensuring quality medical services for all patients.
