The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria has issued interim suspension orders against three doctors following the death of Nkanu Adichie-Esege, the 21-month-old son of author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
The affected doctors are Tosin Majekodunmi, Medical Director of Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital; Titus Ogundare, an anaesthesiologist at Euracare; and Atinuke Uwajeh, Chief Medical Director of Atlantis Paediatric Hospital.
The council said the decision followed the establishment of a prima facie case of medical negligence and professional misconduct.
According to the MDCN, the suspensions will remain in effect pending the outcome of proceedings before the Medical and Dental Practitioners’ Disciplinary Tribunal.
The council said the action reflects its commitment to maintaining professional standards and accountability in Nigeria’s healthcare system.
