6 doctors booked after 5-year-old’s death during surgery

Based on an official medical board report that revealed that a five-year-old boy did not die from complications related to a genital disorder, six doctors including, an anaesthetist and paediatric surgeon, have been charged and are now wanted in a case of medical negligence.

The father of the deceased son who is a city-based advocate blamed the doctors for his son’s death. He claimed that his son was taken for an operation for phimosis with penile torsion, a genital-related disorder, however, instead his son died from multi-organ failure due to septicaemia following a hypoxic brain.
