The police leave the hospital door with a search and seizure box.



In connection with the case of an infant who died a day after being hospitalized after being confirmed with COVID-19, the police launched a full-fledged search and seizure.



On the 12th of last month, 12-month-old Infant A, who was confirmed with COVID-19, died after two days of confirmation and one day of hospitalization.



At that time, hospitals and quarantine authorities assumed that acute myocarditis caused by COVID-19 infection was the cause of death.



However, it was recently confirmed that there was a medication accident at the Jeju National University Hospital where she was treated.

The hospital negligently said there was a problem with the medication acknowledged.



At that time, the doctor in charge instructed me to dilute 5 mg of epinephrine and administer it through an inhaler in the form of a spray.



However, the nurse in charge said that it was administered by intravenous injection and that an excessive amount was injected at one time.



It is known that the nurse in charge recognized the problem that day and reported it to the head nurse.



However, the hospital found out about this four days later, and belatedly informed the bereaved family.



The hospital explained that the reason for the delayed report is under investigation and there is no intention to erase medical records or cover up the accident.

I would like to express my sincere apologies for causing so much pain and concern to the bereaved family...
