The story as told by a family member

This incident happened in a popular private hospital called Ayodele Hospital in Fagba off Iju Road.

The baby was brought to the hospital on Saturday February 6,2016. Before taking the boy to the hospital , he was taken to Ifako Ijaiye General hospital on Wednesday February 3, 2016 for treatment as a result of teething fever. The boy was apparently running high fever as a result of teething problem. At the General hospital he was given injection to bring down the temperature and after all was discharged. He was okay by our understanding then.

On Saturday morning the temperature started rising again. His wife took the baby back to the hospital and was told that there is no bed space. She was referred to Ayinke Hospital in Ikeja . Considering the distance and all the troubles so far, the father decided to take him to a big private hospital around. That was how the baby was taken to Ayodele in fagba.

At the private hospital he was admitted and they tried getting the vein in order to pass drip and to administer medication. They could not get the vein easily so they decided using the vein in the head . They started administering the drip . Not quite long, they told the parents that the baby is not breathing fine due to the catarrh he has and that they have to place him on oxygen.

After some hours, the light went off. They called the nurses to inform the gateman to put on the generator and for an hour the hospital did not respond accordingly . The baby gave up after gasping for breath. The parents watched their baby die for what could be avoided. The father was so traumatized that he was ready to pull down the hospital for such negligence and the placing of the baby at the waste bin as if it was a dog that died (see pictures attached). In the process policemen from Oko Oba were called in to arrest the father. Though he was released later. Despite all these negligence, the hospital is asking them to pay N38,000 before they can take the corpse for burial.

The parents are asking for justice. The death of their baby should not be swept under . Someone should pay for such wickedness .

The world need to know about this. This kind of hospitals should not be allowed to operate in a sane society. A life that could have been saved has just be lost. A future and hapless baby's life has been cut short on the altar of negligence.

If there's an authority that gives these hospitals permission to operate , such authority should be made aware of this

This is the reason our politicians always run away to oversea hospitals. Sorry to the parents. And R.I.P to the child

Re: FALSE PUBLICATION ON BABY GBADEYAN AND AYODELE MEDICAL CENTRE

The management of AYODELE MEDICAL CENTRE views with great concern the false publication making the round in both the social and print media since Monday, the 8th February 2016 on the unfortunate demise of Master Oluwamurewa Gbadeyan on 6th February 2016.

We share in the grief of the parents, Mr. & Mrs. Olabode Gbadeyan, and pray to the almighty God to grant them the fortitude to bear the great loss.

The publications in the media since the past days have however been malicious. We do not credit the stories to anyone in particular as we understand the environment in which we live. At the risk of sounding immodest, we would ordinarily not have had any need to send a response but for the negative impression the news report has generated, together with the fear and great concerns expressed by our clients, associates and patients. We are therefore constrained to set the records straight, as follows:

1. The patient was brought to the hospital at 6.05pm on Saturday 6th February 2016 with fever, vomiting, diarrhea and convulsion. He was also found to be pale and in coma and was registered as Master Oluwamurewa Gbadeyan. His parents introduced themselves as Mr. & Mrs. Olabode Gbadeyan of No. 12 Bosede Akinlaja Street, Giwa-Oke Aro, Ogun State, and were as such issued with a family card.

2. The patient was immediately admitted without a demand for deposit or any preconditions whatsoever, except to have a formal registration process completed by his parents. Two Doctors were on hand to examine him at the time he was presented.

3. Apart from the state of his condition as earlier explained, preliminary investigation revealed that the patient had been ill for about a week, and had been taken to a couple of hospitals prior to being brought to our Hospital.

4. Patient was diagnosed with Sepsis and was immediately commenced on intravenous antibiotics, intravenous fluid and other medications. He was also supported with Oxygen, but regrettably patient passed away at 9.45pm (three hours forty minutes after he was admitted).

5. Although, there were occasional public power outages while the patient was on admission in our facility, this was not the cause of the patient’s demise. The demise was also not as a result of an alleged delay in restoring power to our facility. It is evidently clear that we have two serviceable and functioning power generating sets (150kva and 85kva respectively) on standby. It took less than two minutes on each occasion to restore power to the facility.

6. With respect to the allegation of the patient’s remains being improperly kept, we state categorically that it is not in our character to dehumanize even the death. The remains of the patient were in a dignifying manner preserved. Although the photographs shown in the media depicts otherwise, they were taken while our staff were taking the remains by trolley to the corpse preservation room pending removal to a morgue by his parents. Our staff had innocently allowed the parents and their friends take photographs of the patient as they claimed they needed to do so for records and proper identification sake when they returned for the remains. It is however unfortunate that the gesture is being used against the Hospital. Please also note that one of the photographs showing the patient seated on a lap (while still alive) was not taken in our facility.

7. For emphasis, the patient was registered as Oluwamurewa Gbadeyan. We do not know him as baby Adewunmi, neither do we know his parents as Mr. & Mrs. Adewunmi.

Ayodele Medical Centre remains committed to its duty of providing diligent and professional healthcare services to all its patients. We shall continue to practice our trade professionally, ethically and diligently.
Once again, we commiserate with the parents of our patient on the loss.
Dated the 9th February 2016.
Thank you.
Management

Oooooo this is not acceptable.
