A woman, who was receiving treatment at the Neville Fernando Teaching Hospital Malabe (NFTH), had allegedly died of suspicious circumstances yesterday, Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) said.

GMOA Secretary Navin De Zoysa said the woman, a resident of Dompe, had died after she underwent a surgery at the hospital.

In a statement GMOA said, Health Ministry and Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) should conduct an investigation into the incident.

“This is not the first time an incident of this nature had happened in this hospital which was operating without proper guidance of the Health Ministry,” the statement said.

As a matter of fact all deaths at hospitals must be tabulated for the purview of the public. We have a right to know. We paid taxes to give you an education. via DM Android App

My dear GOMA colleagues,Can you pick the list of all the people died in the general Hospital and do such analysis and come up with answers to those deaths. You buggers are too cheap.

People in glass houses should not throw stones at others. How about the deaths in other private hospitals treated by GMOA doctors.

This medical student is stupid, Hemoglobin 8.0 level is not critical to have a blood transfusion. Due to complications of blood transfusions, current trend is not to give blood. HB 8.0doesn't need a transfusion. She died due to a different reason.

Are these GMOA doctors real? Do they have no shame?

Mavan Sunday, 25 December 2016 06:38 AM

Since the Gov hospitals do the same thing, no need investigations

GMOA is again reiterating the HYPOCRISY OATH, as if this doesn't happen in Govt. Hospitals. Wake up guys lets get going for the common good of all, not only yours.

Laura Saturday, 24 December 2016 08:51 PM

How many patients die under suspicious circumstances in the GMOA controlled Govt hospitals. Mainly due to negligence and the tiredness of the doctors after hectic private practice.

Raz Saturday, 24 December 2016 08:17 PM

What action did the GMOA take when this happened at government hospitals on many occasions. via DM Android App

Kadiya Saturday, 24 December 2016 08:14 PM

Not enough fingers to count, but ask GMOA!!!

As most such victims are poor peasants, the cause of death is heart stopped beating.

Sim Saturday, 24 December 2016 06:24 PM

How about the death at Weerawansas's house?

nuwan Saturday, 24 December 2016 05:54 PM

May I ask the GMOA whether a similar investigation is underway when FOUR patients died the same day after bypass surgery at the National Hospital recently.

My mother passed away last week because govt. hospital docters didnt bother about her due to age. Last year she suffered same fate but survived another year beacuse we didnt listen to doctors. They always said cannot do anything. via DM Android App

All deaths at Government hospitals due to negligence are quashed up as the medical officers are members of the GMOA.Once again Crocodile tears by the patriot. via DM Android App

Malli Saturday, 24 December 2016 05:20 PM

One patient died at SAITM, but GMOA doctors kill so many in Govt hospitals due to misdiagnosis and go accounted. Criminals claiming a crime - nice one GMOA.

Selvyn Saturday, 24 December 2016 05:07 PM

In contrast you have caused much more damage than this private hospital via DM Android App

Bala Saturday, 24 December 2016 04:41 PM

Once off incidents happen in hospitals all over the world in the best of them. How many such ncidents in Govt hospitals with GMOA doctors in charge? A finger pointed means three fingers back to you and thumb across.

billy goat Saturday, 24 December 2016 04:39 PM

accidents do happen...deaths have occurred due to DOCTOR negligence at private n govt hospitals....our laws are not enough to sue the Doctors n surgeons unlike other countries... GMOA should also look inside the house...before casting stones via DM Android App

De Silva Saturday, 24 December 2016 04:28 PM

How many of this type of deaths happened at the govt. hospitals???
