ANOTHER unborn child died in a hospital that a provincial board member wanted to be looked into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provincial Board Member Greg Jala of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) urged his colleagues to conduct an investigation into the death of the child who died while still inside the womb of the mother who was not named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI ask the leadership of this August Body and the concerned government agencies, especially the Department of Health and the local health board, to conduct an immediate and thorough investigation into this incident,\u201d he said in his recent privilege speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jala told his colleagues that he received a letter of a concerned first cousin of the letter-writer whose relative was about to deliver their child at the Candijay hospital sometime in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the mother didn\u2019t know how to “otong” or push properly after being admitted in the morning of August 14. And the family was very worried for complications as time passed by and the family requested the hospital authorities for a transfer to Ubay hospital, but was unheeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut their request was denied with reassurances that everything was \u201cnormal\u201d\u2014the mother was fine, and the baby’s heartbeat was stable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite repeated plea for a transfer at past 10 p.m. and at past 2a.m. the situation worsened as the mother was already aided by an oxygen \u201cclearly showing signs of distress\u2014but was still being told to push.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family was told that hospital follows what it called protocols when it comes to referral or transfer that needs 24 hours of observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut what kind of protocol allows a struggling, laboring mother to suffer for that long without escalation? What kind of policy denies transfer when both the child\u2019s and the mother\u2019s lives are evidently at risk?\u201d Jala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the hospital decided to make the referral at 5a.m. the following day when the \u201cmother had nearly lost consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was too late that upon arrival in Ubay hospital the baby had died. And the mother had to undergo emergency cesarean section and remains weak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is being referred to the SP health committee for immediate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation is to determine whether the appropriate protocols were followed, of the medical staff acted within the bounds of competence and compassion that this tragedy could have been prevented. Jala said that the probe is not who\u2019s to blame of the tragic incident but to protect lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is about learning, correcting, and preventing future loss. It is about ensuring that when our constituents walk into any healthcare facility, they are treated with urgency, dignity, and the best possible care\u2014not subjected to delay, misjudgment, and irreversible consequences.\u201d (rvo)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
