“Since Saturday we asked for a cesarean section because the child was very big and fat, to which the doctor tells me that as if a 12-year-old girl could give birth, how could a 20-year-old woman not be able to do it”, told Diego Alejandro González, father of the deceased minor.
Likewise, he assured that, in the middle of the procedure, andhe little boy acquired an infection that affected his vital organs, and although a medicalized ambulance was requested to transport the baby to Cali to a higher level center, EPS Sanitas denied the request.
“The culprits are the clinic La Estancia and Sanitas, that justice be done. This is not going to stay like this”, expresses a young woman in a video that circulates on social networks.
