The family of late Chisom Jane Anekwe (nee Okereke) and
LEAP Africa Alumni are demanding for justice following her painful death
at the Magodo Specialist Hospital.
The young mother of two daughters died on April 30th, 2017,
while giving birth to her third child, a boy after a prolonged labour.
Sadly, the baby also died. According to her family members and friends,
Chisom was abandoned and left unattended to deal with labour pains and
other pregnancy complications.
So, this is Chisom Anekwe (nee Okereke), a young,
vivacious, graceful, kind-hearted and intelligent woman who had devoted
her life to helping indigent kids and giving their lives a meaning.
She’s an alumna of LEAP Africa.
Two weeks ago, precisely April 30th 2017, Chisom died under
questionable circumstances at Magodo Specialist Hospital in Lagos while
trying to birth her third offspring. We believe strongly that the
authorities need to ensure that lives are taken sacred in hospitals like
Magodo Specialist Hospital where such avoidable deaths are recorded.
Chisom was admitted in the hospital four days before she
got into labour. She already had two daughters birthed in the same
hospital and was there to birth her third child, a son. While at the
hospital, no one attended to her when she needed help to be delivered of
the long awaited baby. She was left for hours in labour. This happened
until her husband created a scene, which eventually caused the doctors
to go to her ward and on inspection they found out that the baby had
struggled and died.
The husband at this point requested for a CS which he paid
for and even signed the consent form presented by the hospital. He was
then tricked out of the room to go prepare for blood transfusion and on
getting back, he found out that the doctors had induced the wife and
delivered the dead baby without operation not minding that the CS
procedure had been paid for. This was without his consent.
After waiting in vain for the surgical team, the frustrated
husband went furiously to the reception to demand why they were wasting
time only to discover the doctor had sneaked out of the hospital under
funny pretences. At this point he got other hospital staff to wheel her
out of the hospital and in that process Chisom died!
This is the story of most young women who die while giving
birth as a result of the callousness, ignorance and carelessness of
inexperienced doctors. In this era, we shouldn't be talking about Child
and Maternal Mortality especially when it can be avoided. This could
have been avoided but it wasn't and now Chisom Jane Anekwe is a victim
and has been added to the statistics.
We demand;
1. That Magodo Specialist Hospital, Shangisha, Lagos, be investigated for their actions and the subsequent death of Chisom.
2. That both the Nigerian Medical Association NMA and the
Medical and Dentist Council of Nigeria, MDCN ensure that supposed
Specialist Hospitals who claim to have a resident Gynecologist are
verified.
3. That there be justice for Chisom!
Goodnight my friend.Her friends are demanding for an investigation into the Chisom's death. See what some of her friends wrote on Facebook, below...

Wow such a cuttie
Magodo Specialist Hospital are very unprofessional. My experience with them haven't been the best but I keep going becos it's close to me and my NHI primary care provider. I am not surprised at this story.
As a medical doctor and an obstetrician, I am saddened when a woman dies especially from questionable circumstances. I hope a detailed and unbiased investigation is done: Women should not lose their lives in trying to give life to others.
#RIPCHISOM
Tears came fast. Oh God please
Deliver your people from quacks and evil men masquerading as doctors and nurses. May god comfort her husband and the two daughters she left behind. So sad
Same thing happened to a friend of mine Tosin a.k.a Drizzy Armani when he has an accident in Abuja they rush him to Uniabuja specialist hospital gwagwalada but unfortunately the doctor didn't attend to him, they told us they are on strike no first aid 🏥 nothing,nothing before we could rush him to another hospital he has passed on, he supposed to be mobilise to N.Y.S.C this year cos we both graduated 🎓 last year of august but his mobilizing in heaven now due to carelessness of doctors.

It's so unfortunate. Life is precious and should not be toyed with.
May her gentle soul rest peacefully in the Bossom of God Almighty.
This is de kind of cases we should be looking into no be I beat my wife my wife beat me with out trying to address de reasons for this beating so we can move ahead pls
Wt ds explanation, it shows dt, ds hospital is nt qualified
God please accept the soul of this young woman and grant her family the fortitude to bear the loss
Magodo Specialist Hospital are really lacking behind. I had a nasty experience with them when my husband had accident. i left there not just in anger but rage after telling the dumb ass guy who called himself a doctor the piece of my mind. I was glad i took my husband out of them.
Chisom no doubt was one of the finest and most promising young chap back in FGC Nise, so sad this happened! I weep everyday seeing her smiles on my Social Media walls. It's painful, and proper investigations should be done to identify every form of negligence!
So sad indeed!
May her gentle soul rest in peace!
This is terrible. May her soul rest in peace.
Do you know that in England, where the NHS is funded by taxpayers (creating a free health service for all) with all its flaws, at NO POINT DURING ADVANCED LABOUR is the mother to be left unattended by a midwife who frequently reports to the doctors on duty.
My friend had three different midwifes, just because of the amount of time labour took > Before they handed over, the midwife informed in detail the situation and progress, and notes were taken.
Heart beat, and other vitals were frequently monitored to ensure that both mother and baby were ok. Eventually she had to have an emergency CS.
The point is, that Chisom should not have passed away. There is nobody that did any juju, this is just the foolishness / backwardness and poor practices of the hospital.
How can a woman in advance labour be left unattended to ?
How can her vitals be left without being routinely checked?
Every single Labour and woman is different, it is these checks that help determine what the issue is or what needs to be done next.
So these two girls will grow up without a mother? The husband has lost his wife. The mother has lost her daughter... OVER THE NEGLIGENCE OF A HOSPITAL.
May GOD COMFORT THE FAMILY,
OMG!!! Such a lovely woman. Another beautiful life cut short in her prime. And what is the budget for the health sector in the 2017 budget again...???. So many innocent people dying daily in our hospitals. They abandoned her. Our govt hospitals are all messed up. The docs are disgruntled and dissatisfied, the nurses are horribly hostile, no equipments. Just like everything else in Nigeria it's moni, moni, moni. Rest your beautiful soul, Chisom. May God grant you eternal rest. My heart bleeds!
#Justice4chisom #fight4ourdaughers #helpsavethe nextvictim
So sad. May their souls R I P.
My mother almost became a victim, but for God she's save but lost the strangled baby.
Mr.Samuel Orisakwe....so speechless at your level of intelligence even at your age. so wife battering and abuse is not a worthy case to pursue???? i see you are among those that beat women. may God help you sir!
Yes, i gree that the hospital and it's doctors be investigated. Alot of young owmen have died this year through child birth complications.
Nawa oooo. RIP
That was how one girl died in d hospital under questionable circumstances after going for appendix operation, she was a housegirl to a family but she was learning hairdressing from a shop in magodo...her dead body was locked inside a room for a long time.....that hospital should be investigated
Am really heartbroken of this young woman path to death. I know her could have been easily avoided. But let's be realistic about s Naija situation, this hospital, the doctors and d while nursing staff involved in this situation will go scotch free after all this noise.
Rip to her!
The hospital should be shut and the doctor investigated,if cupable he shd go to jail for murder. Simple.
If a law should be passed that all our leaders MUST be treated in Nigeria, Our hospitals would definitely compete with others in the world. Our president went outside for treatment simply because he doesn't want to die. If the root cause of the problem is not solved, am sorry to say people will continue to die without explanation in our Nigerian hospitals.. May God comfort the family of the deceased.

From the story she gave birth twice in dat hospital its a pity the hospital screwed everything up.The baby died in the womb The next step I'd caesarian no time to waste.They burgled everything they must pay.zI don't trust private hospital when it comes to delivery government hospitals still remain the best with seasoned matrons that can confidently carry out delivery. Rip to the lady
This happened to my sister security. The wife was in labour for a week and she was kept in a midwife house we didn't know until we went to the village. Took her to Owerri hospital because the baby was transverse and the si called midwife kept her in her house and was forcing her to push when the baby was blocking the bladder. By the time we got to the hospital she was in distress. They told us to bring 30k deposit but the husband doesn't have that amount I have abt 15k I gave them they refused and sent us out until I had to go look for ATM that night to get 30k the requested. They didn't operate immediately until around 4am and the child died in the womb and was smelling. The gateman was naive and the wife. Had it been we didn't go to village she would be died.
So ur mother is still having babies @onah caleb
What kind of hospital is that they should put an end to hospital for good, rip dear
RIP
Is this not why the likes of Buhari travel far for treatment? I wish they could experience this once so all these medical practitioners would sit up and take lives seriously.
