UMTH ASSURES JUSTICE AS DANTANI SEEKS REFORMS OVER ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE
By Hassan Taiye
The University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) has formally responded to an earlier petition on alleged medical negligence and invited the petitioner, Mr. Hamza N. Dantani, to provide an oral account of the events surrounding the matter.
Dantani, a lawyer and rights activist, said the meeting was attended by the Chief Medical Director, members of the hospital’s management team, legal representatives, and concerned members of the public, including the Commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission.
According to him, during the engagement, the Chief Medical Director assured all present that a thorough investigation had been initiated and that appropriate steps would be taken to ensure justice is served in line with established standards and procedures.
He explained that his objective was neither to seek compensation nor to tarnish the institution’s reputation, but to advocate for systemic improvement within the hospital.
Dantani stressed the urgent need for institutional reforms, including enhanced supervision, regular monitoring, and stricter oversight of staff conduct, particularly in view of recurring concerns and complaints relating to alleged medical negligence.
He further disclosed that the Chief Medical Director assured him that the management of UMTH is committed to conducting a comprehensive review of the issues raised, with a view to strengthening the institution and addressing public dissatisfaction, including concerns widely expressed in public discourse.
In a related development, the Public Complaints Commission has also commenced an independent investigation into the matter.
Dantani said he was invited by the commission to provide a statement and clarifications, during which he also suggested practical measures to address the identified shortcomings.
He noted that the commission has since taken up the matter and is actively pursuing its mandate.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the demand in this matter is not for compensation. It is solely directed toward preventing future occurrences and improving overall healthcare service delivery for the benefit of society,” he said.
He also stressed the need for the hospital to strengthen supervision of healthcare practitioners while improving staff welfare, noting that both are critical to achieving sustainable and effective healthcare outcomes.
Dantani expressed appreciation to members of the public whose reactions and concerns brought significant attention to the issue and helped prompt the hospital’s management to treat the matter with the seriousness it deserves.
He also acknowledged the assurances given by the Chief Medical Director and the management of UMTH, particularly their willingness to listen to public concerns and undertake the necessary reforms.
He, however, maintained that such assurances must go beyond mere declarations and be translated into concrete actions, as stakeholders await the full implementation of the promised reforms.
