US Edition'Beautiful' Boy Sent Home From A&E Died After Mum Was 'Not Listened To'
SOUTH YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, JUL 31 – NHS report highlights repeated dismissal of a mother's concerns, with reliance on clinical metrics over caregiver insight contributing to delayed care and family distress.
- Yusuf Mahmud Nazir, aged five, passed away on November 23, 2022, just over a week after being discharged from Rotherham Hospital with antibiotics following an emergency visit.
- Yusuf initially saw a GP on November 15 for a sore throat and received antibiotics, then was discharged from the hospital UECC after a six-hour wait despite his mother's repeated concerns.
- The 2023 NHS England report found parental worries, especially the mother's instinct that Yusuf was unwell, were repeatedly dismissed across services, with a single doctor covering adults and children on November 15.
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting condemned the serious shortcomings that contributed to Yusuf’s death, while the boy’s family disputed a previous report that concluded his treatment was suitable and that hospital admission was unnecessary.
- The NHS South Yorkshire chief medical officer accepted the new report recommendations fully, emphasizing the need to improve responses to parental concerns to ensure better child care in the future.
