Ewan Gawne from BBC News in Manchester reports that the tragic death of Sharzia Bibi, a mother-of-two, has left her husband devastated. Despite being admitted to Wythenshawe Hospital with severe stomach pain, Sharzia passed away two days later due to the failure of medical staff to recognize she had sepsis, as ruled by the coroner.
Her husband, Hassan Naseer, expressed his profound loss, stating that he and his young sons will struggle to cope with Sharzia’s untimely death. Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MUFT) offered apologies for the shortcomings in the care provided to Sharzia, acknowledging that they did not meet their high standards of care.
The coroner’s inquest revealed gross neglect in Sharzia’s treatment, resulting in her unnecessary death. Sepsis, a life-threatening condition, was not considered by medical professionals despite her presenting symptoms. Her father lamented the lack of basic medical care given to her, believing that proper treatment could have saved her life.
Following the tragic incident, Hassan is now a single father bearing the weight of raising their children alone. He hopes that by sharing their story, they can shed light on the repercussions of failures in healthcare, preventing others from experiencing the same heartache. Meanwhile, MUFT has pledged to learn from this tragedy and enhance patient safety and care quality moving forward
