Faith: Mother Refuses Blood Transfusion for Her Two-Weeks Baby
A Nigerian woman watched her two weeks baby die because her faith does not allow blood transfusion.
According to a Twitter post by Dr Chioma @Deekachy_md, people pleaded with the woman to allow her baby have the blood transfusion but she refused to bulge.
Dr Chioma said that the baby was later taken to another ‘Preferred’ hospital’ where he/she died.
However, the name of the hospital was not mentioned.
See her post:
“Madam your baby needs to undergo an urgent surgery and he’ll need blood transfusion too. He’s anaemic.”
“Mom moves over to baby’s bed.
“Nwam, ngwanu, you will die na. God said we shouldn’t take blood.”
“We begged. They refused. He was 2 wks old. I cried. Why? Faith or Murder?
“I cried Doc, when they signed against and took him away. He died in the other ‘Preferred’ hospital where they took him.
“I keep asking what is the boundary. Where can we step in and say No, we’ll do this letter take legal actions or something. I’m tired of this really.
“Religion is messed up. We miss the point.”
The post has however generated controversies on her Twitter page. Twitter users aired their opinions and debated over sensitive issue.
These are some of the reactions of the people:
