The CMD said the doctor was brought in late, hence there was little that can be done to save his life.
He was a staff in LUTH years back before he went to join the private sector. “We learned he had COVID-19 patients in his facility that he was treating.
It was gathered that the late medical doctor was an Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist who died at the age of 60 years.
