Nigeria’s medical regulatory authorities have now suspended three senior doctors from medical practice following the death of 21-month-old Nkanu Adichie-Esege, the son of celebrated Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her husband, Dr. Ivara Esege.
According to a statement released after its latest sitting, the Medical and Dental Practitioners Investigation Panel (MDPIP) announced that it had invoked its powers of suspension after establishing a prima facie case of medical negligence and professional misconduct against the affected doctors.
Those suspended include the Medical Director of Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, Dr. Tunde Majekodunmi; an anesthesiologist at the same hospital, Dr. Titus Ogundare; and the Chief Medical Officer of Atlantis Pediatric Hospital, Dr. Atinuke Uwajeh.
