Yazin Elhjaje

On 18/10/2017 commenced an investigation into the death of Yazin ELHJAJE: The investigation concluded at the end of the inquest 26th April 2018. The conclusion of the inquest was a narrative which read as follows: Yazin died from bacterial meningitis which was diagnosed on 7th October 2017. He had been unwell for about a week with a headache but since 5th October developed a fever. On 7th October at Zam he was seen at the hospital examined and discharged, he did not have a full set of observations and his discharge letter stated that meningitis had not been completely ruled out: He was discharged at 2.45 am and his condition over the day deteriorated: He was taken by ambulance to the hospital at around Spm on 7th October 2017 but died on 8 despite the treatment provided at that time;

Yazin Elhjaje became ill on 6th October 2017 and was taken to see his general practitioner, she was concerned about his presentation and that it could be meningitis, he was managed at home and then taken to hospital later that day with a letter from the general practitioner raising her concern: Yazin was examined and discharged with a diagnosis of sinusitis. His condition deteriorated over the next few hours and he was taken back to the hospital by ambulance; by now he was very ill, it was confirmed that he probably had meningitis, his condition deteriorated despite the treatment and he died on &th October 2017 at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children Upper Maudlin Street Bristol The Coroner'$ Court; Old Weston Road, Flax Bourton, BS48 1UL

In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and believe you have the power to take such action.
