The family of a three-year old boy who died at Pai Katanga Clinic near Dambai is accusing nurses of the facility for negligence.
The boy was allegedly sent to the Clinic last week Tuesday at about 2200 hours by his parents for "minor pains".
The family claimed the boy died at about 0400 hours after the nurse on duty allegedly refused to attend to him, saying, she had closed.
However, Mr Issah Apolongo, Assemblyman for the area told the GNA that authorities of the Clinic said the nurse on duty had been working alone for three months after her colleague went on study leave and was feeling unwell the day the incident occurred, having worked the whole day.
GNA gathered that management of the Clinic, led by Madam Rose Bosrocsi, a Midwife, described the incident as unfortunate and apologized to the family.
