FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ORDERS PROBE INTO ALLEGED NEGLECT OF ACCIDENT VICTIMS IN ABUJA HOSPITAL

The Federal Government has launched an investigation into a viral video showing alleged neglect of accident victims at the Emergency Unit of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, Abuja.

 The video, which circulated widely on social media, showed victims of a road accident reportedly left unattended by hospital staff members after being brought in by a Good Samaritan.

 The Good Samaritan, who recorded the footage, said he found the victims on the road and transported them to the hospital for urgent care, alleging that hospital staff refused to provide immediate assistance, with one citing a lack of gloves.

 In response, the hospital’s Public Relations Officer, OBADIAH GANA, in a statement issued yesterday, confirmed that the hospital has begun a comprehensive investigation into the incident.
