The FMC explained that Nanyah was admitted in critical condition following a reported snakebite and that medical personnel immediately commenced treatment in line with standard clinical protocols. According to the hospital, all necessary emergency interventions were carried out, including the administration of anti-snake venom where indicated.
Reacting to reports circulating on social media, the management stressed that no patient had been denied treatment due to lack of drugs or equipment, adding that the insinuations of negligence were unfair to healthcare workers involved in the case.
