Tru News Report has come across a tweet from a young woman who claims to be the cousin of the late Aburi Girls High School student who tragically passed away shortly after complaining about stomach pains.
In response to a news report shared on Twitter by blogger Sika Official, the woman, known as Tina, stated that her cousin did not suffer from the stomach pains that the school is claiming.
According to Tina, the deceased had malaria, and the school failed to provide the necessary assistance, leading to a deterioration in her condition. She further alleged that when the girl’s parents arrived at the school, they found their daughter lying lifeless on the floor.
Earlier today, it was reported that the deceased, a first-year student at Aburi Girls Senior High School (SHS) in the Eastern Region, passed away due to alleged medical negligence. The student had complained of severe stomach pains and unfortunately succumbed on Monday, February 5, 2024.
It is claimed that the school nurse denied her medical attention, accusing her of pretending to be ill. When the authorities finally realized the seriousness of the situation and rushed the girl to the hospital, it was too late.
The student’s body has been taken to the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital for an autopsy. Her family, who reportedly live abroad, have arrived in Ghana after receiving the devastating news.
The police, in collaboration with the school management, are conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the student’s untimely death.
Meanwhile, here’s the lady’s tweet:
She is my cousin. It wasn’t stomach pains. It was malaria. They didn’t offer her any form of help. Her parents met her lying on the floor at school dead when they arrived.
