Died at home of dehydration and pneumonia
Parents of a child with a respiratory infection must have called 1177 several times about the child vomiting up everything he ingested. The patient remained at home after the counseling and died a few hours later from dehydration and pneumonia.
The nurses on 1177 did not inform themselves sufficiently about the youngster’s condition and jumped to the conclusion that it was a stomach bug, according to the investigation.
The child should have been more clearly referred to hospital, according to the report to the Inspectorate for Care and Care (Ivo).
