Indian origin boy died due to medical negligence in UK: parents

Parents of a three-year-old Indian-origin boy, who died in a UK hospital a few years ago, told an inquest into his death that they feel "really let down" by the medical staff that was treating their son. Krishan Saujani died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in the city of Leicester in November 2015 after being taken to the hospital for vomiting and diarrhoea.His mother, 33-year-old Bhavini, told an inquest at Leicester Coroners Court that she felt the hospital staff ignored her and husband Shalin's growing concerns over their son's condition, who suffered from Down's Syndrome."I just felt that we weren't being listened to when we were raising concerns about his low oxygen saturation levels.

We were being told that the machines weren't picking it up, it was explained away as a machine error," she told the hearing.The mother recounted her son's final moments when she shouted for help as his heart stopped and doctors were unable to resuscitate him, Leicester Mercury reports."Someone needs to take accountability and responsibility for what's happened," she said.Krishan's father also gave evidence to the inquest, which concluded today."Krishan was my best mate, I called him my little buddy. We planned to do so much together," the 35-year-old said.Their son had a weakened immune system and was more vulnerable to infections due to his condition.Earlier in the week, the inquest was told the boy should have been moved to intensive care earlier and the head of paediatric services at the hospital in Leicester, doctor Samantha Jones, apologised for his death."Krishan should have moved through the departments within the hour and preferably sooner if possible.
