Medical errors in hospitals kill more Nigerians every year than AIDS, malaria, breast cancer and auto accidents combined.

But Arlindo Defreitas, a Portuguese national living in Lagos, never thought his wife would be one of those statistics. After all, he attended almost 5 years of medical school back in Portugal.

But when his wife took a turn for the worse during a cesarean section at the Medical Art Center (MART) in Lagos, he went from being confident to helpless and lost husband, afraid of questioning the care she was getting, for fear it would become worse.

Arlindo, who now has to care for his son alone after his wife died following the cesarean section says his wife was killed by doctors at the Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Onigbongbo, Lagos, based hospital.

“When I entered the theater all her organs was scattered around, I couldn’t look , it was like the work of a butcher.” I told the doctor my wife is not a cow, he said.

Arlindo said his wife, Amaka, 24, showed no signs of distress in the weeks following up to the c-section.

According to him, after 4 years trying to conceive, his wife finally got pregnant and was a pre-natal care patient at the MART Hospital.

“Last week Friday at 41 weeks of pregnancy, doctors at the hospital told us that no baby water was seen and as a result a cesarean section operation must be done as soon as possible.” The procedure was done and the baby was delivered by 8.30 am on Saturday, and we were very happy- for a short time, he said.

“I was very happy even though the baby almost died as I was told by the doctors that the baby was almost ‘strangled’ by the umbilical cord, the head was red and one arm was white, the skin was very wrinkled.” “My wife was moved out of the theater and transferred to a private room to recuperate”‘ At some point she was in excruciating pain, and the doctors kept giving her doses upon doses of pain killers”.

“I was uncomfortable and I told them that from my experience as a medical student years ago I think my wife hemorrhaged. At that point Arlindo watched as her condition steadily worsened, until doctors asked him to leave the room. He claimed that after his persistence the doctors ran a test and said that his wife lost a lot of blood during the cesarean section.

“I was asked to leave and wait for a call before coming back, so I went home”.

In the words of Michael Klimek, a friend of Arlindo and a fellow European from Germany, ” after she delivered the baby, the doctor told her that she have to drink 5 bottles of water.” I was shocked, everybody knows how dangerous it is for a woman that just underwent C-Section to drink water”. ” After drinking the water, the bleeding started and it won´t stop. They gave her 2 bags of blood-transfusion, but it was not helpful.”

“Hours later the doctors said they have to cut her open again to find out what was going on with her, Klimek said in shock. At that point the husband said he was told that she has low blood a 12.7% packed cell volume (PCV)”.

” I said why can’t you use ultrasonic Tools and scans to see what’s going on, instead of cutting her open again and allowing her lose more blood which is already a problem”.

“By the time I got to the hospital, they already cut her open for the second surgery, they opened her thorax from under the breast down – and finally, they found nothing after 4 hours of operation.”

“I was an emotional wreck by this point.” I never gave consent for the second surgery, nobody in my wife’s family did, Arlindo told Per Second News. “Until this moment cause of death is still unknown”.

“I don´t understand this doctors and hospitals. This “Photoshop certificate Doctor” killed our best friend and for this he must be imprisoned for life and the MART Hospital shut down for ever. And none of this doctor or nurses must practice in this profession again, said an angry Klimek, friend of the husband.

” I am from Germany and when this things happen in Germany or Europe, the government conduct an investigation, I hope, this will be the same here, he asked.

“Now I can understand, why your president went to medical check up outside of Nigeria, he concluded.

The husband of the deceased claim that one Dr Moses butchered his wife to death, “yes Moses killed my wife”. ” After they noticed their mistake they refuse to tell me details, I called them continuously and they won’t pick my phone”.

Per Second News reached out to the hospital and the chief medical director, Prof Oladapo Ashiru, said the Mart medicare gave the deceased high quality care with experienced professionals.

“The lady Amaka, was young, she said she was 24 but she looked 21”. “

He said all those that attended to her from the Obstetrician to the Anesthesiologist and Nurses are well experienced professionals. Ashiru said he has well over 40 years experience.

He revealed that he was not part of the team that worked on Amaka and directed us to the consultant who spoke to Per Second News about what transpired.

MART MEDICARE

Dr Makewu said with the help of fertility doctors from the MART Center, Amaka Defeitas, conceived using IVF, after which we had a meeting with the couple detailing a 13 week management plan that includes C-section at birth.

Drink water ke?
After a MAJOR OPERATION?
No DRIP?

These Nigerian doctors are MURDERERS I swear!

The hospital planned a C-section immediately she conceived, but they didn't do this operation till 41weeks! I thought CS could be done as early as 35/38weeks. Why did they have to allow her wait till 41weeks? Of course, the amniotic fluid would have been depleted by then. May she RIP...

Mehn I think it's time I packed my bags... Ah don try abeg. Unmanaged hemorrhage and cutting open anyhow in a top tier hospital? These things happen but cmon! She was a patient of interest, they had her file. There had to have been contingencies for all this, wetin na. We know some of us that are commoners have no recourse but to enter General Hospital with 10% chance of making it out alive, but not MART na. What is this in 2017?!Nigeria!!

I doubt this, but still tacky as hell. Who allows a relation into the operating room while it's looking like a bloodbath?

So he might, in effect, have killed his own wife if he forced his way into a sterilized operating room? Hospital can spin this oh.

Chaiiii.... Rip nne.

This is saddening.

The wife was already dead! SHE HEMORRHAGED TO DEATH PERIOD!!! She died from SEPTIC SHOCK! She lost too much blood and the tried to make her drink water to make up for the lost volume. QUACKS!!!! The blood transfusion came too late.

The baby survived abi?

He was already in the OR. Remember they told him to go home? Even here in the US, husbands are encouraged to be with their wives during deliveries. THEY STAY BEHIND THE STERILE FIELDS. Unless the operation is to be carried out under GENANES(general anesthesia) and the woman is put to "sleep". Which kain yeye sterilized field dey for inside Nigeria?

Nor be candle and kerosine lantern dem dey use do operation in Nigeria? A Nigerian "butcher room" can never be kept sterile with lack of contant electricity to keep a typical OR cold enough to prevent incubation of SUPER BUGS!

Let us say na "luck" dey keep most people alive in places like Nigeria.

If na US this mess happen ehn? Oh no!!! Na jail all the DOCTORS AND NURSES for spend the rest of their lives I swear. How can you give LOTS of water to a FRESH POST-OP PATIENT BY MOUTH?

I keep saying that whatever will make me go under the knife in Nigeria, make dem kuku kill me.
This hospital in question is top tier though. Doesn't add up. I want to see their official press statement.

They were careless period.

1. This lady was a young girl with no prenatal risks.

2. This was a 41-week pregnancy. Big risk for MAS(Meconium Aspiration Syndrome), a situation caused when a baby passes stool in-utero and swallows its own THICK, BLACK FECES.

3. There was no AMNIOTIC FLUID in the womb(all dried up) typical for those over-due pregnancy.

4. The baby had CAN syndrome(cord around the neck). Very deadly scenario if not managed properly. Some babies die of strangulation before they even come out.

My questions?

1. Why did they not do an AMNIO-INFUSION to relieve CORD COMPRESSION FIRST, before OPERATING on her?

2. Were they ready for such a high risk pregnancy?

3. Any mass transfusion policy in place?

I just had a Obstetrics and Neonatal Emergency drill last week at my place of work. I was surprised about how unprepared to take care of a BLEEDING MOTHER after a delivery.

A company was going from hospital to hospital educating us on THE NEED TO HAVE PLENTY OF BLOOD ON STANDBY, in ALL high risk deliveries from the blood bank. If not needed, it can always be used on someone else in the hospital.

It was an eye-opening experience.

If they managed to bring the baby out alive in spite of all of these, I'm buggered they fùcked up the mother.

Because they were careless.
They forgot they were dealing with TWO lives.
All they concentrated on was the baby.

They were not ready for post-op complications. Typical Nigerian unprofessional mentality.

amnio infusion in a nigerian hospital? The private hospitals are just glorified govt hospitals, dey are all fhe same.....No facilities, no manpower, no nothing...
The nigerian dr sometimes feels like the hosp attendant despite fhe book knowledge he cannot function well.Its difficult working in this harsh condition, unlike u Kanwulia we "manage" to save life, maximizing little resources to help many....Mistakes do happen even in good centers like urs..

The person who fabricated the story is a good liar...

It is a pity. This beautiful young girl is gone. A newborn baby rendered motherless.

sickening

People do not understand Nigerian Medical System. I do and believe me when I say, having surgeries in Nigeria is not for the faint-hearted.

When my sibling used to be a lecturer at one of the leading Teaching Hospitals in Nigeria, he said they should have lost their accreditation to teach Surgery years ago. And he was teaching my mates. Most of my older family members taught my classmates. Whom are now the Dr's treating everyone. And if things were bad then, imagine now.

Private hospitals in Nigeria are a joke. There will be CMD, a Consultant Baddo. He will then hire Residents and GPs to fill in for daily clinicals. Those ones will be managing your case and trying to reach him on the phone when issues arise. Then he will call in other experienced Dr's and surgeons to quickly attempt to save you. The case notes that get to them is written by the same Residents and GPS, who may have made mistakes. And the senior ones will try to cover up any errors. That is what happens with even the so-called reputable hospitals.

Residency in Nigeria is by who-you-know. They are constantly struggling to get spots in Teaching Hospitals. So how do you expect them to be superior Drs? Same issue with Schools of Nursing, the system rot is so bad.

If you have options to deliver abroad, abeg carry your load and go, they are not fantastic but the basics they will sha get. The NHS they keep insulting is better than most of our private hospitals. I have no idea why this couple chose birth here.
