A mother, Oluwaseun Folorunsho, has accused a private medical facility in Lagos State, Oak Hospital, of killing her one-year-old son, Ogooluwa.
The 43-year-old mother claimed that workers at the hospital prescribed and administered drugs meant for her four-year-old son, Imole, to Ogooluwa, adding that it was what led to his death.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Oluwaseun had on Saturday, September 22, 2018, rushed her two sons to the hospital as both had cough and were vomitting.
It was gathered that a medical test on the children revealed that they both had malaria and an unnamed infection, leading to their being admitted to the hospital.
While Imole was placed on drips, Ogooluwa was reportedly given injections.
Their mother told PUNCH Metro that when she gave Imole food to eat, he refused, adding that his vomiting continued.
The Ogun State indigene said despite her complaints, a doctor at the hospital said all was well.
She said, “On Sunday, Imole, who is the elder, started running a temperature. I called the attention of the doctor to it and he said I should not worry that he would be fine. He said his younger brother was already playing.
“In the afternoon, one of the nurses came with three injections for Ogooluwa. I noticed that she used big syringes to give him the injections.
