In a statement covered by ThisDay, Euracare Multispecialist Hospital expressed sympathy to the Adichie family while disputing what it called inaccuracies circulating about the case and saying it has commenced a detailed investigation.
The hospital said the patient was critically ill and had been referred for specific diagnostic procedures, adding it provided care in line with established clinical protocols and worked with external medical teams recommended by the family.
The public dispute has placed Nigeria’s private healthcare accountability under a spotlight—especially around sedation protocols, monitoring, informed consent and post-incident transparency.
Regulators and professional bodies are expected to follow developments closely as public scrutiny intensifies.
Echotitbits take: When a high-profile case hits, the wider system learns—or repeats mistakes. Watch for independent review, regulatory clarity, and whether clinical findings are shared responsibly without breaching privacy.
