Supposedly abandoned baby 1 month dead RSUP M Djamil Padang, director apologizes and promises to improve the system

KOMPAS.com – The case of alleged neglect of the patient by RSUP M. Djamil Padang has drawn the attention of several parties.

Because, due to problems with the services provided, the son of a married couple, Fery Hermansyah and Rydha, who were still one month old, died.

In relation to this problem, the Managing Director of the Central General Hospital (RSUP) M Djamil Padang Yusirwan apologized.

“We apologize to all parties, especially the families of Ridha Afrila Dina Putri baby patients who are not satisfied with the conditions,” Yusirwan said in a written statement on Sunday (03/05/2020).

Problems in the referral system

In relation to that problem, he admitted that there were several things that concerned him at the moment.

Especially related to the referral system from the network hospital to the M Djamil Padang General Hospital.

In this case, he considered that the referral system carried out by the network hospitals was still weak. Because it is considered that complete patient data is not sent.

As a result of this condition, the baby must pass a series of tests to determine his condition before further treatment.

“If this is not true and the patient is already in a referral hospital, of course, there should be a series of examinations to determine the patient’s condition,” Yusirwan explained.

Because they have to go through a series of tests, they eventually cause misunderstandings and as if the patient were ignored or not treated immediately.
