Death in the dark: Family demands answers after dialysis patient dies at TTH during power outage

The family is calling for a thorough, transparent and independent investigation to establish exactly what happened during Sumaila's final moments — what medical interventions were provided, whether oxygen was available, what caused the interruption to his dialysis, and whether the hospital's emergency systems functioned as they should.

Sumaila Amadu, a 32-year-old chronic kidney disease patient who depended on dialysis twice a week to stay alive, died on the night of August 25, 2026, during a routine evening session at the hospital's Renal Clinic.

Citing patient confidentiality, the Hospital said it could not disclose further details regarding Sumaila's clinical condition, treatment, or the exact circumstances surrounding his death.
