Ibb, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
At a time when the governorate suffers from the absence of the simplest necessary services, and the collapse of sectors related to the citizen's daily life, other issues arise, including the fatal "medical errors" that confirm the deterioration of the health sector ... as the loss of people's lives has become a regular matter, in addition to the high rate of crime and abuse carried out by the Houthi militia every day.
The situation has reached costly levels financially, healthily and morally, a frightening situation and neglect that makes citizens vulnerable to all forms of death.
Dozens of medical errors were associated with dozens of names, the last of which was (the anesthesia technician) who amputated the penis of the child Muhammad Idris from the "Al-Muzahim" district, Al-Udain district, who is not even 10 days old.
The list of victims is long, and the parties behind this failure, poor performance, absence of oversight, and impersonation are not moving.
In the same context, the voices of citizens were purely appealing to the concerned people in the governorate and health authorities, to reconsider the status of health facilities after the phenomenon of errors that led to death or permanent disability at best became widespread.
Numerous reports have confirmed that the absence of control over health facilities in recent years has led to the plagiarism of the medical profession and over-specialization, not to mention the appointments from outside the health sector, which constitutes a serious transgression.
Many of this type of problem had ended with arbitration between the victims and their families on the one hand, and hospitals and doctors on the other hand, in exchange for compensation or reconciliation and concession.
Citizens considered what is happening in the governorate, specifically in the health sector, as a kind of chaos and a disregard for people's lives by a failed local authority and doctors without conscience who made the citizen an experimental field.
While others emphasized that the real medical personnel were marginalized in favor of new doctors and nurses without experience, which forced them to migrate or distance themselves from everything that was going on.
The matter does not stop at private hospitals and their greed, along with medical errors, but rather to the absence of the slightest services in government hospitals.
Dr.Akram Atran, the father of one of the children who was killed as a result of the chaos more than a year ago, and the killer was executed after severe pressure - wrote yesterday, saying: “We are now in (the body) of Al-Thawra General Hospital in Ibb. We treated my aunt with a brain hemorrhage, an urgent and dangerous situation."
He adds: "We waited for an hour and did not find a doctor, and they did not do anything for her except the oxygen, and when we decided to transfer her to a private hospital, they told us that an ambulance is needed for oxygen."
Then he asked, "Where do we get an ambulance from? Where are the hospital cars? It was answered that there is no (diesel)."
He emphasized, "We have provided the diesel and are now waiting for the will of God Almighty.
We even tried to contact the director of the hospital, Dr. Ghabshah, but he did not answer.
Daily news from the governorate indicates that financial and administrative tampering and corruption have reached their peak in light of the Houthi militia's control of all revenue and service institutions.
The question here is: Where does the governorate’s revenues, which are reported in billions of riyals annually, go, and is the local authority unable to provide diesel for the only and first government hospital within the governorate?
