Judge Muhammad Hussein Siddiqui, seventy-six, who returned to Saudi Arabia, died of a coronavirus infection in India. Officially, he was the first Indian to die on Kovid-19. But controversy has arisen in India over the situation the family had to go through for their treatment after they got sick. British media BBC reported this news.
Siddiqui returned to India on the last day of February after spending a month with her youngest son in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. But he died only 10 days after returning to India.
A week after returning to India, he reportedly started feeling sick for the first time. He died of suffocation three days later in an ambulance.
Two days before his death, members of his family attempted to take him to four hospitals in two cities. He died on the way to the fifth hospital after being rejected from four hospitals: the hospital announced that he was brought “dead”.
Authorities announced a day after Hussein Siddiqui’s death that he was positive for coronavirus.
Her eldest son Hamid Faisal Siddiqui said: “We still do not believe that he died on Kovid-19.” We have not yet received his death certificate.
On the night of March 6, Hussein Siddiqui told family members that he felt ill. The next morning he woke up with a severe cough. Get up and ask for water. It was then that his family doctor was informed. The 63-year-old doctor gave him cold and fever medicine. Your cough worsens and you have a fever at night. On the morning of March 9, he was taken to a private hospital in Gulberg. There he was under observation for 12 hours.
According to the certificate issued to the family when Hussain Siddiqui was released from the private hospital, both lungs were infected with pneumonia. The examining physician wrote that the patient also suffered from additional anxiety.
Doctors recommended that he be transferred to a specialized hospital in Hyderabad for an “examination,” but did not mention that he was a suspected Covid-19 patient.
But after Hussein Siddiqui’s death, a statement from the Indian Ministry of Health said he had been “identified by symptoms” as a “suspected Kovid-19 patient” at Gulberg Hospital.
The statement also said that while Hussain Siddiqui was in the hospital, his samples were collected and sent to the city of Bangalore, 560 km away, for tests for coronavirus. His family was blamed for removing him from the Gulberg Hospital.
The statement said that without waiting for the test results, the people who were with the patient forced him (to remove the patient from the hospital) and, against the advice of the experts, took him to a private hospital in Hyderabad.
Her son Hamid Faisal Siddiqui said, “I don’t know why they blame us.” If they told me to put my father there, we would put him there. We have done what the hospital authorities said and we have proof of it.
But senior hospital officials complained that family members were determined to take him to another hospital.
On the night of March 10, Hussein Siddiqui was taken away in an ambulance. They were giving him emergency oxygen treatment in the ambulance. Her son, daughter and her daughter’s husband were in the ambulance. They drove all night and arrived in Hyderabad at dawn. The ambulance took him from one hospital to another.
A neurological clinic refused to admit it. He was rushed to a government hospital in Hyderabad, which has a separate Kovid-19 ward. After going to the hospital for a while, Hussain Siddiqui’s family returned with no response.
“We wait a few hours,” said a family member. No doctor or hospital came. So we left.
By then Hussein Siddiqui was slowly passing out in the ambulance. Finally he was taken to the Hyderabad Super Specialty Hospital. There the doctors examined him for a couple of hours. Their observations revealed that the patient had been coughing for two days and was having difficulty breathing for two days. They recommend that the patient be “admitted for a detailed examination”.
But the hospital also mentioned in the patient’s discharge certificate: “Even after being informed of the risk, the people who were with the patient did not want to admit him to the hospital for examination.”
Also in this case, members of Hussain Siddiqui’s family claim that this statement by the hospital is also not true. They said that authorities at the super specialty hospital advised that the patient be taken to a government hospital and then tested for coronavirus and taken back to the hospital.
“We were so confused that we decided to go back to Gulberg again,” said one family member.
When the ambulance arrived in Gulberg the following morning, Hussein Siddiqui was dead. The official report of his death indicated that his family members did not visit a government institution from the day the symptoms appeared until the day of his death.
Hussein Siddiqui’s son Faisal said the day after his father’s death, they learned on television that his father was “the first person to die of coronavirus in India.”
He was buried in the family cemetery that afternoon. Since Hussein Siddiqui’s death, more than 20 people have been diagnosed with coronavirus in Gulberg and two have died. Those identified included Hussein Siddiqui’s 35-year-old daughter and her family doctor (both have recovered). More than 1,240 people in the area are isolated in homes and hospitals.
