The management of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital has vowed to sanction any medical personnel found guilty of negligence that might have led to the death of an undergraduate of Theatre Arts in the University of Port Harcourt, Miss Kelechi Precious. The Chief Medical Director of UPTH, Prof. Aaron Ojule, made this pledge in Port Harcourt as a result of the anger that followed the death of Precious at the hospital. Precious died at the UPTH on Sunday, August 31, 2015, leading to a protest by students, who claimed that she was refused treatment; a development that led to her death. But Ojule said the management of UPTH had begun an investigation into the allegations that Precious died as a result of neglect. He expressed regret over the death of the student, describing it as unfortunate. “The management hereby wishes to state that the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate incident is already being investigated and where any member of staff is found culpable as being alleged, adequate disciplinary measures would be applied according to extant civil service rules and professional codes. “We wish to state we have standard operating procedure in all aspects of our work in the hospital and we will evaluate the events surrounding this death against this background,” Ojule assured. Ojule said was unethical for any medical personnel to show any act of negligence, especially while on duty while adding that nobody found wanting at the end of the investigation would be spared. He sympathised with the family of the late student and pointed out that the hospital was oversubscribed, resulting to the availability of less bed spaces for patients. Ojule appealled to government to consider the challenge of congestion at the UPTH and find a solution to the situation. The UPTH CMD urged the UNIPORT Students’ Union Government to call its students to order, recalling that doctors and nurses took to their heels due to the threat to their lives by protesting students of the university.
