Baby Girl Dies Because Parents Cannot Pay Hospital Bill: Allegation

Refleksi : Agaknya orang Papua mempunyai banyak pengalaman dengan contoh seperti berita artikel dibawah ini. Hal tsb membuat mereka tidak mau gabung dalam NKRI. Jadinya dari pada berharga pasti mati konyol sebagai manusia tidak bernilai di tanah mereka sendiri, lebih baik sebelum terlambat harus bisa mencari jalan sendiri.

Bukankah orang Papua dalam pikiran mayoritas penduduk Indonesia bukan saja dianggap kafir tetapi juga bodoh dan terkebelakang dan oleh karena itu mereka dimarginalisasikan. Jadi mereka bertekad " Let my people go!"

Baby Girl Dies Because Parents Cannot Pay Hospital Bill: Allegation
October 24, 2011

Cimahi, West Java. A sick baby girl from Indonesia died after she was rejected by at least two hospitals and allegedly cruelly treated at a third.

The parents of Nisza Ismail took their eight-month-old child to a number of hospitals, including Mitra Kasih Hospital and Handayani Hospital in Cimahi on Friday, seeking treatment for her high fever and seizures.

Both hospitals, however, turned the girl away when the parents said they could not afford the down payments the hospitals demanded for administrative purposes.

Martin Ismail, Nisza's father, said Mitra Anugrah Lestari Hospital eventually agreed to take her daughter at 2 p.m. on Friday but did not treat her until 8 p.m. that night because the administration fee had not been paid.

He said that he could only pay Rp 150,000 ($17) of the Rp 500,000 the hospital demanded.

"The hospital insisted on asking for that amount [of money] and refused to provide the medicine ... my daughter was in a critical condition."

On Saturday, the hospital suggested the child be moved to intensive care but again asked for money, this time Rp 217,000 to use the equipment and pay for medicine.

She passed away not long after she was transferred.

Zakaria, the director of the hospital, defended its treatment of the baby girl, claiming that even though they demanded the parents pay for the medicine, the "hospital gave [Nisza] the medicine without her family knowing it."

"It is not true the hospital intentionally delayed the treatment."

He said the girl's care met the hospital's service standards.

The official cause of death was listed as a stomach infection, he said.
