On
Friday, Mr Tomsom Rudy & Leon Jimat Donald was called by the Sri
Aman Hospital to a meeting about the compensation by the Ministry of
Health; for the negligence by the hospital which caused the death of
Tomsom's wife, the late Anna Kajan.
Ironically the date of the meeting with the Sri Aman Hospital fell exactly on the 3rd anniversary of his wife's death.
After
a short meeting with the Director of Sri Aman Hospital & the
officers from Putrajaya, Mr Tomsom agreed to the compensation proposed.
However, Mr Tomsom declined to expose the sum of the compensation when
asked, only saying that he wishes to put this chapter in his life to a
close and he wants to
move on.
"On
behalf of Tomsom's family, I would like to commend the Staff of Sri
Aman Hospital & the Health Ministry for being courageous in
admitting that they indeed made a mistake whose neglect caused the death
of the late Anna. The
ex-Gratia payment may be sufficient but no way is it able to compensate
the loss of a life, a wife to Tomsom, a mother to their daughter
Norita. Let this case be a hard lesson learned, especially to the staff
of the Sri Aman Hospital and to all the hospital staff across the
country,' Leon said.
