Australia: Seven-year-old girl dies after waiting hours in Perth emergency department
Western Australia’s state Labor government last week used its overwhelming parliamentary majority to block calls for an independent inquiry into the shocking death of a child at Perth Children’s Hospital in April.
Seven-year-old Aishwarya Aswath’s death has highlighted the human cost of years of public hospital funding cuts in Western Australia (WA) and nationally, by both Labor Party and Liberal-National governments.
Despite multiple pleas for help from her parents, the little girl died on April 3 in the hospital’s emergency department in the state capital after waiting more than two hours to receive treatment.
