A tribunal set up by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) has adjourned the hearing of the charges against three doctors accused of negligence.
The doctors, Iyoha Joseph, Obafemi Kuye and Oyewunmi Oladipo, were alleged to have administered unnecessary drugs to a three-month-old baby, Peace Oluwole.The baby was admitted to the R. Jolad Hospital in Gbagada, Lagos State, in March 2013, where the three doctors work.
“We have two instances – the first time was when the baby was brought and then the baby was discharged when the baby ought not to have been discharged. The treatment and discharge was negligent. And when the baby was brought back and taken care of by the third respondent doctor, he was also negligent,” he said.
They also said the mother of the child did not compose herself enough to explain what was going on with the baby, and so they could not get enough information. He was also accused of claiming to be a specialist paediatrician when he did not have any additional qualification registered by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria .
