“Maybe all of them treated a patient who has a contagious disease, which, I think, was not well handled.
“It’s a very big hospital.
“They carry out minor surgery on patients and at times they invite doctors from elsewhere to join them.
“If it’s a contagious disease, how come that no patient died but the staff?
“People are also speculating that it could be food poisoning.
“Maybe one of them ate food and gave it to the others to eat.
“We don’t know.
“All these are mere assumptions until those responsible for monitoring these hospitals carry out an autopsy on the deceased.
“None of the patients died.
“It’s only the staff of the hospital.
“All of them have been buried.
“You know they are Muslims.
“Please, the Ministry of Health and other relevant agencies should step in.”
