Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has ordered the Ministry of Health and the Hospital Management Board to investigate the rejection of three accident victims that led to their deaths.
The victims were allegedly rejected by medical staff at the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Umaru Shehu Ultra-Modern Hospital, Maiduguri.
The order followed a video clip, which went viral on social media showing how some medical officers allegedly rejected the three accident victims for medical care. “What happened is inhumane and unacceptable to reject accident victims for treatment to save their lives.“We’ll not allow such a situation to repeat itself. I see no reason why disciplinary action will not be taken against the erring staff in this hospital.”
According to the governor, the Hospital Management Board and the Ministry of Health should ensure disciplinary measures are taken against those on duty that refused to admit the accident victims brought to the hospital for treatments.
