An 11-year-old boy died after he was circumcised at a health center in Davao Oriental in late July.
According to the "24 Oras" report of GMA One Mindanao's Kent Abrigana, Lear John Ilisan was circumcised on July 8. He died weeks later on July 27. “Hindi namin matanggap ang nangyari sa anak ko kasi mabait yan… Nawala siya kaya hindi ko matanggap talaga,” Lear’s father Armando said.Lear had a lockjaw in the following days.
“Sunday morning medyo okay pa siya. Tinawagan ko ang midwife, sabi ko ‘Ma’am parang may tetanus yata ang bata. Mag-render na tayo ng anti-tetanus…' After ng anti-tetanus… lalong lumala,” Armando said. Lear's death certificate indicated that he died because of “respiratory failure caused by generalized tetanus.”“Tiningnan ko ang tuli ng bata. Sinabihan ko ang magulang kung saan ba ako nagkamali? Saan banda? Sabi ng ina ng bata, ‘Gumaling na pala.’ Sabi ko naman na may dala akong tetanus toxoid. Proteksyon ito para sa inyong anak. Nagpaalam na rin ako sa papa ninyo,” Uyanguren said.
Philippine healthcare system is terrible. That boy doesn't deserve to die that way. My condolences to the bereaved family. 🙏
