Euracare Responds to Allegations of Medical Negligence, Extends Condolences to Adichie Family

Euracare Hospital has issued a press release expressing deep sympathy to renowned author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her family over the tragic loss of their son, while firmly refuting claims that the child’s death resulted from medical negligence.

In the statement, Euracare conveyed its heartfelt condolences, describing the death of a child as an immeasurable and devastating loss. The hospital acknowledged the profound grief being experienced by the Adichie family and extended its sympathy to the parents and all members of the bereaved family during what it described as an extremely distressing period.

“We extend our deepest sympathies to Chimamanda Adichie and her family on the demise of their son and acknowledge the profound and unimaginable loss they are experiencing during this deeply distressing time,” the statement read. “The loss of a child is beyond words, and we offer our most heartfelt condolences to his parents and the entire family.”

However, Euracare stated that it was compelled to address what it described as inaccuracies in some reports currently circulating in the public space regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident. According to the hospital, claims suggesting that the tragic outcome was a result of medical negligence are incorrect and misleading.

The hospital maintained that while it recognises the heightened emotions and public interest surrounding the incident, it is important for facts to be accurately represented. Euracare stressed that attributing the child’s death to medical negligence does not reflect the true situation and risks misinforming the public.

“We find it necessary, for the record, to clarify that some of the reports currently being circulated contain inaccuracies,” the statement added. “In particular, the suggestion that this tragic outcome resulted from medical negligence is erroneous.”

Euracare did not provide further details on the medical procedures or events in question but emphasised its commitment to professionalism, patient safety, and adherence to established medical standards. The hospital also noted that it remains open to appropriate engagement with relevant authorities and stakeholders to ensure that all facts surrounding the incident are properly understood.

The press release comes amid intense public scrutiny and widespread discussion following statements attributed to the bereaved family, which have generated strong reactions on social media and within the medical and literary communities.

Euracare concluded by reiterating its condolences to the Adichie family and appealing for sensitivity and restraint in public discourse, given the gravity of the loss and the emotional toll on those directly affected.
