“On Tuesday, 7th January, my mother was brought back to the hospital because she had complained of head pain with a severe cold all through the night. “She immediately instructed that my mother be placed on a drip. The drip was, however, disconnected when the specialist noticed my mother had developed excess fluid in her legs.
“But, Dr Ani, who was the doctor on duty did not consider the blood transfusion neither did she provide an alternative,” he said. “He suggested we use an independent laboratory in the morning. At this point, we were really disturbed because the night was long and no alternative was being suggested,” he said.Buhari appoints new CMD for Abuja hospital
