A doctor at CBD Specialist Hospital and Maternity in Zimbabwe has been accused of causing the d£ath of woman following an alleged mistake during a surgical process.
Dr Felix Simango is accused of mistakenly cutting the intestines of late Kudzai Gweme who was giving birth through a C-section at the hospital he works at.
34-year-old Kudzai was buried on Unity Day in Domboshava. Local publications reported that second operation carried out after her tummy swelled, showed that Dr Simango had mistakenly cut part of her intestines.
It was gathered that Kudzai was referred to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals for further management where she died before a third operation.
Kudzai’s husband, David Mverechena, told H-Metro that one of his relatives, Jacob Ngarivhume attacked Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals over his wife’s death without getting the full information.
Mverechena said:-
“I am failing to find peace following the death of my wife due to negligence by Dr Simango.
“I was with him together with another doctor when they did a second operation to find the cause of the infection that was causing her tummy to swell.
“They discovered that part of the intestines had been cut, and Dr Simango apologised.
“We were referred to Parirenyatwa for further management, and my wife died before a third operation.
“We do not blame either CBD Specialist Hospital or Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, but Dr Simango for failing to discharge his duties.â€
