The head of Fayoum Prosecution, Counselor Ahmed Kamal, supervised by Fayoum prosecutions General Attorney, Counselor Abdel Hayy Fazoura, has decided to entrust a tripartite forensic committee, chaired by the top legal doctor, with examining all the papers and documents related to the deaths at Fayoum public hospital. The committee has also been entrusted with examining the files of those who passed away to see whether there was any omission or negligence by one of the workers or the doctors at the hospital. 15 people have died in February. Al-Masry Al-Youm has exclusively printed their names and heard the testimonies of their relatives to understand whether there had been any negligence. Mahmoud, son of Said Ayyad Hassan, said his father passed away on February 5. He affirmed his father fought for his life with no one looking after him. He even said his phial of glucose was left connected to his body until it eventually became empty, so much so that the air which filled the phial went into his father's body. He said his father stayed one night in the intensive care unit before being taken out of it in spite of his serious conditions (a clot). Finally, he passed away on February 5 after staying in hospital from January 29. Yousry is the son of Omar Ahmed Shaban, who passed away on February 4. He said his father was taken to the intensive care unit on February 2 but all he found was negligence. Omar said he called in a neurologist from another hospital, but although his father needed medical ventilators, the doctor at the intensive care unit refused to do as the specialist recommended. Mahmoud lost his brother Ahmed Mohamed Hassanein, who passed away on February 4. He said his brother went through no x-rays and was not given any medical ventilator until he eventually died the morning after being hospitalized. Fayz said his father Diab Salem Abdel Aziz also died on February 4. He said he called in a neurologist from another hospital as the doctors, who diagnosed his father with a clot, did not look after him and the nurse refused to give him what the doctor had recommended. Instead, he was left alone from January 31 until his death, because of negligence, on February 4. Ramadan Namr Mohamed lost his wife Safa Kamel Said on February 3, while Mariam Shaban Mohamed lost her husband Ragab Ali Mahmoud on February 4. Mohamed and Sayed lost their father Qotb Mahmoud el-Sayed on February 4. They said that no one in the hospital looked after their father and that there was gross negligence. As for another relative, Samy, he called in a specialist from another hospital so that he could sign the medical visit for his father Abdel Qader Hisan Hisan, who passed away on February 3. Zaynab Abdel Tawwab Mohamed and Gomaa el-Sayed Saleh died on February 2, Attyat Hassan Mohamed on February 4, and Farahat Guneidy Khalf on February 3. Farahat's son, Mahmoud, said his father was left fighting death alone with no one taking care of him. Ramadan Gomaa Aoud passed away on February 4, Fikri Ali Mohamed on February 5, and Ragab Abdel Hafiz Hassan on February 4. The prosecution has summoned 13 doctors working at the hospital intensive care unit and has heard their testimonies. It has emerged through the investigations that the device revealing the presence of oxygen and CO2 in the blood stopped working those days as there were not the compounds needed to activate it. Based on the testimonies of some doctors and nurses at the intensive care unit, only three of the ten kinds of necessary compounds were available, which is why the device remained inactive all that time. Moreover, the monitor did not work, either, because of the lack of the electrode needed to activate it. This electrode is put on the patient's chest so that it may transfer electric signals to the device.
