Sri Aman Hospital 'confirms' what caused infantile death

DAP Sri Aman Branch Chief Leon Jimat Donald and Pn Mading ak Roney was brought to a meeting at the office of the Director of the Sri Aman Hospital.

Both of them were briefed by the Sri Aman Hospital Director on the progress of the investigation on the infantile death of Pn Mading's son 5 days after he was born, suspected due to negligence on the Sri Aman Hospital personnel.

'The Health Ministry from Putrajaya has sent for an external investigation to be conducted, where a panel of Specialists has been appointed by the Health Ministry. The investigation from the specialists has managed to discover some evidence of negligence from the Hospital personnel, which was presumably caused by faulty equipment. Due to these findings, an ex-gratia payment will be reached by the external investigative committee which will be forwarded to Madam Mading soon,' said Leon Jimat Donald DAP Sarawak Vice Chairman.

'The grieving parents still hold to the belief that had there been better facilities or a new hospital altogether, their son could have survived', added Leon.

Commenting on the New Sri Aman Hospital is being built and the opposition should stop harping on it, Leon had this to say, 'The BN YBs should explain to the rakyat on why the budget of the hospital is slashed from RM200 million to RM150 million whereby only 15 acres is earth filled while 35 acres is still a swamp. To claim that 15 acres of earth filling which costs an astronomical RM50 million  is a great misappropriation of the Rakyats' money.'  added Leon.
