Large crowds in Bisha attended the funeral of the first child of Moussa Ibrahim Abu Racine, who died two days ago in what appears to be the result of a medical error during the child’s birth at Bisha Hospital, according to the father.
The baby’s father filed a complaint against Bisha General Hospital, claiming that the medical staff committed a medical error that led to the suffocation of his daughter due to lack of oxygen. Moussa Abu Racine said the suffering began when his wife was brought to the emergency room for delivery.
He said the physician told them after the examination that the pulse of the fetus was weak and it was suffocating due to the leakage of liquid from the mother, thus requiring an urgent caesarean section, which both parents accepted.
Abu Racine said the absence of nurses in the operation room resulted in the deterioration of the fetus state as the Caesarean section was delayed. The man said the delay of the attendance of the gynecologist on call led his wife to suffer the pain of childbirth for more than four hours until the baby was born naturally in the presence of a nurse, not a doctor.
As a consequence of the delay in the birth and the lack of oxygen, the child was born with many problems. The case was referred to King Fahd Central Hospital, where they were moved to Abu Arish General Hospital due to the lack of beds.

Saudi, Pakistan defense chiefs discuss ‘measures needed to halt’ Iranian attacks on Kingdom
RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman and Pakistan’s Chief of Defense Forces Asim Munir discussed Iran’s attacks on the Kingdom, amid the escalating military conflict in the Middle East.
“We discussed Iranian attacks on the Kingdom and the measures needed to halt them within the framework of our Joint Strategic Defense Agreement,” Prince Khalid wrote on social media early on Saturday.
“We stressed that such actions undermine regional security and stability and expressed hope that the Iranian side will exercise wisdom and avoid miscalculation.”
The US and Israel began a large-scale military campaign against Iran on Feb. 28. Iran has since attacked a number of sites across the Gulf.
Tehran has also attacked US and Israeli military assets as the war as escalated, impacting lives in the peaceful Arabian Gulf peninsula and risked shaking the global economy as Iran continued restricting energy shipping along the Strait of Hormuz.
The Saudi Defense Ministry said a number of drones had been shot down that were targeting the Shayba oil field in the Empty Quarter on Saturday.
A drone attacked the US embassy in Riyadh on Tuesday causing a minor fire, but no one was hurt in the incident.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a “Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement” in September, pledging that aggression against one country would be treated as an attack on both.
Separately, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif, the Saudi interior minister, received a call from his Pakistani counterpart Raza Naqvi, who condemned the blatant attacks targeting the Kingdom and affirmed his country’s solidarity in confronting any threats to the Kingdom’s security and stability, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.
