It is said that Dr. Felix Simango accidentally sliced the intestines of the late Kudzai Gweme while she was having a C-section at the hospital where he works.

On Unity Day, Kudzai, 34, was laid to rest in Domboshava. According to local media, a second procedure performed after her stomach expanded revealed that Dr. Simango had inadvertently severed a portion of her intestines.

According to information, Kudzai was sent to the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals for additional care, but she passed away there before undergoing a third procedure.

David Mverechena, Kudzai's husband, informed H-Metro that one of his relatives, Jacob Ngarivhume, attacked the Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals over the death of his wife without having all the facts.

Mverechena said; “I am failing to find peace following the death of my wife due to negligence by Dr Simango.

“I was with him together with another doctor when they did a second operation to find the cause of the infection that was causing her tummy to swell.

“They discovered that part of the intestines had been cut, and Dr Simango apologised.

“We were referred to Parirenyatwa for further management, and my wife died before a third operation.

“We do not blame either CBD Specialist Hospital or Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, but Dr Simango for failing to discharge his duties.”

Reacting to the allegation, Dr Simango said; “I am aware of the late Kudzai Gweme incident, but honestly, I am not in a position to comment since the matter is too sensitive and for professional reasons.”

Ngarivhume, however, asserted that Parirenyatwa Hospital was negligent and caused the death of his cousin.

He said; “I have been helping my sister look after her daughter and she died after going through a C-section operation to deliver her third baby at Pari.

“The doctors made a mistake and cut her intestines. She then developed an infection. They took her for a second operation to correct the error, this didn’t work.

“A third procedure was planned to clean her up, but sadly she suffered a cardiac arrest and died.”

The Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals refuted the accusations in a statement, claiming that the procedure was performed in a private hospital and the patient was simply referred to them for additional care.

The hospital said: “We would like to put the record straight that this patient was not operated on at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, but at one of the private health care facilities.”
