The cover up has begun.

This is nothing new. We all expected that this would indeed happen. Our sources at IGMH have reported that a secret closed-door meeting was held today at 8am at IGMH headed by the corrupt Dr Fathmath Ali Didi to plan a cover up story for the events in the labour room that led to the newborn baby dying.

This was reportedly a meeting that involved the chief nursing staff from labor room, obstetric doctors and a couple of lady pediatricians. Our source reports that the meeting went on for nearly 2 hour. This meeting was apparently in preparation for a meeting that was to be held with the family of the deceased baby.

It is our belief, and that of our analysts, that a certain official "the way that things actually happened" would have been created to ensure that parents are misled into believing that normal procedures were followed in the delivery process and the delivery itself wasn't the cause of death. They were expected to inform the parents that there were congenital abnormalities in the baby that caused the death and that it was unpreventable. That would be an IGMH-styled review of mortality and morbidity.

We were able to confirm that the meeting with the parents was going to happen today. Although we can't confirm that the meeting actually took place; it was expected at around 12 noon today.

We spoke to one private practitioner in Male'. He tell us that he expects the review process to yield nothing less than a total denial of responsibility in this case. This, he said was what IGMH have done after reviewing all previous cases.

We have been unable to speak with the family directly to get their views, but have read their views on some of the daily newspapers. The 35 yr old mother is reportedly in a stable condition in the general ward and according to doctors is expected to make a full recovery from her injuries.
