After going to Hospital III in Iquitos to undergo cataract eye surgery, Lita Rengifo lost her right eye. Benjamín Acosta, his nephew, made the public complaint in Arise my people.
During the narration of the event, Doña Lita’s grandson assures that as soon as the operation was over, he was sent to rest at home and wait for her appointment. ““Dr. Angélica Lozano Ancani saw the current state of her eye and, unfortunately, said that she does not know what is happening, that she cannot answer us and that her eye has been affected”.his grandson recalls.
In addition, Benjamín discovered that there are four others affected by the same problem as his grandmother and two have lost their sight in addition to her. “It was probably some infection from some bacteria picked up from the hospital due to poor management.”commented Fernando Díaz, the host of the program.
“They had to take the emergency off because the bacteria was so strong it was feared it would spread to the brain. To save his life, they had to remove his right eye.”wails his grandson.
After Essalud’s statement about the cases and the care he assured he is offering those affected, Fernando asked if it was true. Benjamin commented that it is half true because his grandmother is getting priority attention in Lima, but he is afraid that she will not be followed later.
“No insurance representative came to my house in Iquitos, not even to take care of her husband, who is my grandfather, or me, who is here.”denounces the young man as he waits for the grandmother to recover as soon as possible.
