Th boy died after undergoing the operation at a government hospital in Khorfakkan, prompting the Ministry of Health to open an investigation into the case.
According to Emirates 24/7, the boy's father Hamad Saeed, 23, said he took his son to the hospital for the surgery and waited for nearly two hours before the operation finished.
He told Emarat Al Youm daily that he saw his son carried out of the operation room covered with blood and that he was admitted to the intensive care unit.
“He was pale and my wife and I were much worried…I then heard the pediatrician arguing with the doctor who performed the surgery and realized that there is something wrong…10 minutes later, I was told my son is dead,”he said.
The paper said the Ministry of Health formed a committee to investigate the case and determine the cause of the baby’s death.
It quoted Saeed as saying he had reported the case to the prosecutor, who said that he would open a criminal case after receiving a coroner report.
