A tragic incident occurred at the Government Medical College, Padang. Among them, the 7-year-old girl Sophia died due to lack of treatment. The victim’s father, Nazim, took his critically ill daughter to the medical college, but due to the doctor’s negligence, the girl was unable to receive treatment and eventually died.
The victim’s father claimed that after taking the girl to the hospital, she was forced to wait for several hours and doctors refused to treat her. During this period, Sofia’s condition allegedly worsened as doctors continued to watch cricket matches on television. Eventually he died in his mother’s arms. After the incident, the family members cried bitterly and demanded severe punishment for the doctors involved.
