Euracare multispecialist hospital has issued a public statement following the sudden death of the son of renowned Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, expressing deep sympathy while clarifying details surrounding the incident.
In the statement signed by its management, Euracare conveyed its “deepest sympathies” to Chimamanda and her family, describing the loss of a child as “beyond words”.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to Chimamanda Adichie and family on the demise of their son and acknowledge the profound and unimaginable loss they are experiencing during this deeply distressing time,” the statement read.
The hospital said it found it necessary to address what it described as inaccuracies in reports currently circulating about the incident.
“We find it necessary, for the record, to clarify that some of the reports currently being circulated contain inaccuracies,” the statement said. Euracare described itself as a reputable centre for complex medical care, led by an internationally trained and experienced clinical team.
According to the hospital, the patient was critically ill and had been referred to Euracare for specific diagnostic procedures after receiving treatment at two paediatric centres.
“Upon arrival, our medical team immediately provided care in line with established clinical protocols and internationally accepted medical standards, including the administration of sedation where clinically indicated,” the hospital stated.
Despite what it described as concerted medical efforts, Euracare confirmed that the patient passed away less than 24 hours after presenting at the facility.
Euracare announced that it had commenced a detailed internal investigation in line with its clinical governance standards and best practices.
The hospital also emphasised its commitment to compassion, patient safety, and responsible handling of the matter, while respecting the family’s privacy.
