Woman dies as doctors abandons her for fear of contracting COVID-19

The fear of contracting the novel COVID-19 has scared away doctors at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Enugu, leading to the death of a 35 year-old mother of four.

The woman’s husband 40-year-old Nwachukwu Alagbu, who was visibly distressed, said his wife died out of sheer negligence by the doctors and other health workers.

He accused medical doctors at the hospital of killing his wife, whose name he gave as Nkiru, for the fear of contracting the dreaded Coronavirus.

But the UNTH authorities are keeping mum on the allegation.
