Tragic Death Following Circumcision Procedure
A 10-year-old boy died after an alleged circumcision at a medical clinic in Tondo, Manila. The family claims that complications began shortly after the procedure on May 17. This incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and conduct of circumcision procedures in local clinics.
According to sources close to the family, the boy’s mother reported that her son’s condition worsened quickly after the operation. Despite rushing him to a nearby hospital, doctors declared him dead on arrival, with no detectable heartbeat.
Family Seeks Justice and Accountability
The family is now demanding justice and accountability from the doctor who performed the procedure. The physician involved is a woman whose identity has not yet been revealed by authorities. Relatives insist on a thorough investigation to uncover whether negligence or malpractice played a role in the boy’s death.
“Kailangan malaman kung sino ang may pananagutan dito,” a community leader said, emphasizing the need for transparency and responsibility. An autopsy has been conducted to determine the official cause of death, according to reports from local experts.
Investigation and Legal Actions Underway
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is actively pursuing the case. Authorities are preparing to serve a subpoena to the doctor involved as part of the ongoing inquiry. This step aims to gather more information and clarify the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.
Medical professionals and community members alike are calling for stricter regulations and oversight of circumcision procedures to prevent similar tragedies in the future. Meanwhile, the family hopes the investigation will bring them justice and closure.
