A female Indian doctor, Bharathi Jayaram practicing at the Prema Sai Hospital, a private hospital located in Agege, Lagos state has been arrested and charged to court for the death of a pregnant patient.

She was sued by one Mr. Semako Hunpe, over claims of unprofessional misconduct that led to the death of his wife, Mrs Oluwasetemi Hunpe and scarring of their new born baby during his wife’s delivery at the Indian doctor’s hospital on February 26 this year.

In a N500 million lawsuit filed by his counsel, Barrister Kayode Adaramoye, Mr Semako Hunpe alleged that professional misconduct led to the death of Mrs. Oluwasetemi Hunpe, his wife.

In an interview with Tribune, Semako claimed his wife Oluwasetemi had registered at the hospital on February 17, 2014 for antenatal services only to start experiencing some pre-delivery signs. He said she was given some injections and told to wait till about 5pm on February 26th before she would be taken in to the delivery room.

“When she went into labour, she was ordered to engage in minor exercises to help aid the labour. Before she entered into the labour room I can remember clearly that she was normal like all pregnant women that I had seen; she walked into the labour room by herself. I was invited into the labour room after several hours of intense labour without adequate care and was asked to encourage my wife to push out as she appeared exhausted sequel to prolong hours of labour.

On getting to the labour room, I found a nurse applying Aboniki (hot balm), pressing the deceased abdomen while asking her to push and after this amateur mechanism did not yield desired result, they cut the deceased three times to bring out the baby and placed it somewhere unattended to. First of all, I noticed that the baby was left unattached for a long time while all four nurses were attending to my wife.

During the period of the delivery, I did not at anytime see the doctor; it was after the delivery that one of the nurses went to call the doctor. The doctor came in at about 6.15 p.m and told me to leave the labour room. I left the labour room and stood outside the door. As I stood there, I heard a noise as if someone was being flogged inside. This noise continued repeatedly. My fear grew as the nurses began to rush up and down, fidgeting. It was at this point I tried to get one of the nurses to talk to me but she wouldn’t. Twenty-five minutes after delivery, I was told by one of the nurses that the baby was all right, I went inside to see my wife only to see her being massaged all over her body with Aboniki balm.

It terrified me to see the frequency with which they were shouting my wife’s name. She used her last bit of energy to say that her legs were hurting. Thirty-five minutes later, I was told that my wife would need blood because she was still bleeding profusely. I immediately agreed to this. All this while, I had not seen the baby. I heard the doctor calling someone and asking for blood. Shortly after this stinging and ugly news I was informed that my wife was dead. Subsequently, they called one pastor to pray for the resurrection of my wife which further exposed the incompetence, negligence and ineptitude of the hospital’s system. Due to the unprofessional cuttings by incompetent nurses on my wife, the baby suffered serious deep cuts on its back and buttocks. This cuts on different sides of the baby’s body further attest to the mutilation done on his wife,” he said.


Semako Hunpe says 9 months after he was born, the baby still has the scars he got while they were trying to forcefully help his wife give birth.

The hospital has however denied claims of negligence. In a letter titled ““Demand for N500 million Damages,” and written by the hospital’s counsel, John Adanike, the hospital claims the doctor carried out her duties in the best professional manner throughout the time Mr Semako’s wife stayed in their hospital.

Dr Bharathi Jayaram has practiced here in Nigeria in the last 20 years.

whoever thought that the uses of aboniki extended to child birth ?
Quack nurse n imported quack doctors everywhere

Oh my God! Quacks every where in Nigeria.
And they are denying the claim of negligence on the part of the hospital?
They better have a tangible explanation for those wounds on the baby.
I tell people that most of these government hospitals even with all their bad customer services are way better than the so called private ones.
Nigeria needs healing. If our leaders did their duties rightly, people won't need to be going to some stupid quacks.

What kind of quacks doctor is that? She just wasted the life of that new baby! Perhaps, he's the messiah of this country...*sarcasm. It's really pathetic!

SMH Please Nigerians be wise.

and a pediatrician if the baby should happen to be in crises

Why did they not go to a general hospital?

This is one issue the government should take seriously,on my trip to the caribbean,i notice something very shocking,shops were been opened as medical universities and everybody is looking for Nigerian students,the locals don't attend this school,only Nigerians and they don't fail there,as long as you pay the fees,if the government doesn't act quickly am telling you that a large number of fake nigerian doctorS claiming to have been train abroad would soon be on there way back,it was so bad that final year medical studentS can't fix I.V line and all this schools are set up by indians deceiving nigerians that they would end up in the states,after they collect their money they then tell the student to bring more nigerians and for every nigeria they bring 1000usd would be given to them from the presons school fees,i was really shock to discover all this,i meet some officials and they told me in clear terms that if nigerian government are not stopping the student from coming why should they care

India lakinta

*in joker voice * why so serious

*in serious voice* why so silly?
I don't see any reason why someone would find this remotely amusing.

Ok na. This is what I call suit of life!

GEJ till rapture

lilprinze:

I dont get u people o.
u will be asking questions like will the money do this or that? What was the husband suppose to claim? The doctors life? So because money or nothing would bring the wife back, he should have sat on his asś and done nothing.
The lawsuit is enough to close the hospital down and suspend the quacks' licenses if they have any at all. It saves other lives that might fall victim. And if he gets the money, he can give that innocent little one a better life. Who knows the amount of neurological damage that might have occurred in that baby due to the injury sustained.
