364675Marmz - excellent!
I would agree if the Prita case provided any kind of landmark judgement. Omni lost little, unfortunately. Would have liked to have seen Omni dragged over the coals, but as usual, justice is achieved with people power, not with faith in the courts.
Marmz: I just read your very clever take on the Oath.
Hospitals should really learn something from the recent case of Prita vs RS Omni.
I reckon we set up a fund, so that the parents can machete these administrators and we pick up the tab. At 200,000 per life, that would be a cheap bloodbath.
Exactly. "There's Rp.200,000 for ya". What utter sods.
The parents of a six-month-old baby who died after she was allegedly denied treatment by Tangerang's Sari Asih Hospital are planning to take legal action.
Elsa Ainurohmah was brought to the hospital on March 15. She was having difficulty breathing after ingesting cold medicine. Sari Asih allegedly refused to treat her because parents Paidi and Septi could not pay Rp 10 million ($1100) as a deposit toward her care. The couple say they tried to take their baby to another hospital, but she died before they got there.
The family said the hospital had apologized and given them Rp 200,000, but they were firm in their decision to pursue the case.
“Nothing can return our child to us," Paidi told Metro TV. "We want justice for Elsa's death."
However, hospital director Mahruzzaman Naim said the hospital had not denied the child treatment.
“We took the necessary actions for Elsa but her condition was already very bad when she got here,” he said.
