Gulimay Iztleuova, a resident of the Mangystau Region, is asking Kazakhstan's Ministry of Health to investigate how her three-year-old son was treated at a hospital in Zhanaozen. The child spent 30 days in a coma and died. The woman described the hospitalization and her unanswered questions for doctors, according to Lada.kz. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.

According to Iztleuova, on September 5 at around 09:00 she and her son were taken to the hospital by ambulance. The woman specified that the boy's temperature had risen sharply. She denies information about poisoning that appeared earlier.

The mother claims that upon admission the child was not examined thoroughly enough, and after hospitalization she was not told what medications were being administered to him.

At around 11:40 the boy began having convulsions. According to the woman, the doctor prescribed Relanium, after the administration of which the child did not wake up for several hours.

"One hour passed, two hours passed, 5 hours passed, but the child did not wake up," Iztleuova said.

She claims she repeatedly approached the staff but received no clear explanations about her son's condition. The causes of his deterioration and a possible link to treatment are to be established by specialists.

According to the mother's recollection, a CT scan of the boy's brain was performed only in the evening — at around 19:40. She carried him in her arms to the examination herself.

After the CT scan, the child was transferred to intensive care. According to the woman, she was told about a hematoma in her son's head, but she received no detailed explanations.

According to Iztleuova, for the next two days the boy was conscious, ate and talked with relatives.

"On the third day my child fell into a coma. And from the moment he fell into a coma until his death, the child never woke up," the mother said.

Iztleuova claims that relatives had to seek consultations with specialists on their own. According to her, doctors from Astana and Tashkent arrived after the family's video appeals to the president and media publications.

The mother also has questions about the medical documentation, the recording of prescriptions and administered medications. She stated that she disagrees with part of the information in the discharge summary, and that the family purchased some expensive medicines themselves.

The woman asks the Health Ministry to take the situation under control and check the entire period of her son's treatment.

"I ask that my child's case be investigated from beginning to end and a fair decision be made," Iztleuova said.
