Humanity Above All

The tug of war between a doctor’s responsibility to help patients and a hospital’s business interests seems to have contributed to the death of four-month-old baby Deborah.

The media reports that Deborah was taken to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) too late just because her parents could not pay the down payment for the PICU service.

We express our deepest condolences to the parents of the baby, whose full name is Tiara Deborah Simanjorang. We are also deeply concerned that such a case can still happen in Indonesia today.
