In another statement issued on September 3, 2023, the hospital management clarified its stance.
The statement read, “Once again, the hospital management needs to clarify issues on the insinuations being made by a mother in a viral video that the alleged loss of her son’s intestines after surgery is a matter between a private hospital and LASUTH. Our hospital is an excellent tertiary institution with highly knowledgeable and skilled medical consultants.
“We are also equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. The patient in question was referred to our hospital after two surgeries in a private hospital.”
It read further, “He required extensive optimisation in our facility before a corrective surgery could occur. Specific strange findings were discovered at the surgery, carried out by an experienced pediatric surgeon and her team. There is a video clip of these intraoperative findings. The mother was informed about these findings but appeared to be in denial.
“The hospital has a comprehensive report of the findings by a high-powered panel that it quickly set up to look into all ramifications of this case.

“Our hospital carried out a corrective surgery and did not wilfully remove any organ or structure. We empathise with the family of the patient. We believe that financial assistance from any quarters will be in order, but we do not think that a blackmail of the state government via social media is the best approach.”
