KOTA BARU: The management of the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital (HRPZ II) will meet with the family of a two-month-old baby who claimed that negligence by hospital employees in their treatment resulted in the death of the infant on Feb 18.

       HRPZ II director Datuk Dr Selasawati Ghazali said the hospital had conducted an investigation involving doctors and nurses who were responsible for treating the baby.

       "As soon as the issue went viral on social media, we have instructed those involved, including specialists, doctors, nurses as well as the committee involved to look into the matter.

       "We will explain every action taken by the hospital while treating the baby and the baby’s next-of-kin can also ask all questions during the meeting,” she said when contacted by Bernama here Monday (Feb 21).
