CAIRO: Egypt’s Prime Ministry announced that the one-year-old penile gangrene patient will be treated at expense of the government, the Cabinet office told Youm7 Tuesday.
Mohamed Ekramy, as young as one year and seven months, entered the Sporting Hospital in Alexandria May 15 to undergo a hernia operation, but the urinary stream was wrongly diverted and thus might have his penis removed, the father told Youm7 Saturday.
He added that the hospital manager’s offered him a compensation of 200,000 EGP ($26,206,) but he refused and demanded his son be treated.
The father called on President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi to pay attention to small and public hospitals, “non-professional” doctors, and rescue his child.
