The management of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, COOUTH, Awka, has reacted to the controversy trailing the death of one of its patients, Mrs. Uche-Chukwudokwe Amarachi.
According to the hospital, Amarachi battled kidney disease before her death.
The late Amarachi, who was 14 weeks pregnant before her death, was said to be initially managed at a private hospital before she was brought to the teaching hospital.
Worried by what it described as a negative and misleading narrative circulating on social media, which, it said, was capable of tarnishing the reputation of the hospital and the healthcare professionals involved in the patient’s care, the management urged members of the public to verify information before sharing or using unverified claims to attack the institution or its personnel.
