Kam Agong

What Happen to Kam Agong ?

On 19th March 2002 Mr. Padan Labo and his eight children lost their mother (Kam Agong). She died of severe bleeding a month after the doctors have performed Caesarean Section (C-Section). C-Section was done at the Lawas District hospital on 19th February 2002 at the age of 44.

While politicians play money politics, here our mother was mistreated, miss managed, refused treatment and left to die.

Kam Agong died during our 4th Prime Minister and it passed through our 5th Prime Minister's tenure and now we have the 6th Prime Minister. Will Kam Agong and her family receive justice under the new leadership?

Note we are of the opinion that this is not not mere death due to medical negligence BUT death caused due to refusal to act or by omission. It is a Homicide.

We demand for an Independent Inquiry and investigate everyone who was involved. We want the findings to be published.

Kam Agong could have been alive today but not so due to negligence of the concerned parties. From the beginning since admission in labour, management and monitoring was inappropriate.

i.e.
- the indication of C-Section

- the type of C-Section which is questionable

- intrapartum management – with Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage

- postpartum management

- finally management of Secondary Postpartum Hemorrhage

Noted by a Gynecologist

Signature on the Consent for m for surgery - we found out during the trial the defense lawyer DPP ask the witness Mr. Padan Labo (the husband of the deceased) weather he signed the form for the operation. The document was shown to him (Case note 26). He answered I have not seen this document before.

DPP asked is that your signature? He replied that is not my signature.

DPP asked, is that the signature of your wife? He replied that is her name but not her signature.

At this time this line of questioning stopped and during the cross examination the form that Mr. Padan Labo signed was the tubal ligation form.
