The Health Ministry confirms that an investigation is taking place into the death of a 10-year-old girl, Dea Maisarah Bada, who allegedly died while receiving treatment at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) in Klang.
Its minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa confirmed the matter on her official Facebook and extended condolences to the victim’s family.
She also appealed to everyone to respect the family’s privacy while the investigation goes on.
What happened to Dea Maisarah Bada?
Yesterday (14 July), Dea’s father, Bada Hussein, refuted claims that his daughter was brought in dead (BID) as stated by the hospital. The distraught man said his daughter died while receiving treatment.
On 9 July, Bada’s wife informed him that their daughter, already having fever and flu, had trouble breathing.
He quickly brought her to the hospital but claimed they had to wait until 45 minutes and her oxygen levels were getting low.
He also claimed that the staff bound her arms and legs because she was restless while the doctor tried to take a blood sample.
Bada claimed his daughter died during the struggle, and the cause of death in her death report was listed as BID. He was charged RM1 for hospital service.
