Mohammed bin Zayed to cover expenses of 24-year-old Emirati under coma

The 24-year-old Emirati woman who is still in a coma for three weeks now will have all expenses of her medical treatment abroad paid for by His Highness Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

The family of the Emirati woman has been informed of the development, as per reports from local Arabic media.

Following the mishap, several medical staff at the facility where the 24-year-old had her surgery were accused of negligence after failing to detect the patient’s rapid drop of blood pressure that eventually led to brain damage and cardiac arrest.

Another alleged medical malpractice was that the anaesthesiologist was reported to have stepped out to smoke and had a cup of coffee when the complications happened as per recent developments on the case that’s being handled by the Dubai Health Authorty (DHA), as per the local Arabic papers.
