Ordered probe in a failed caesarean section that left the surgical mop in the woman’s abdomen

Later, when we asked for compensation, he said that “some money would throw us” and refused to recognize the suffering we suffered, “he wrote on social networks.

He described the test as physically and emotionally devastating, added that his livelihood as a farmer suffered. “I lost my crops because I could not attend to my farm during this crisis. We suffer immensely for months, ”he added.
