Illegal Operations Uncovered

It has also been found that the nursing home was illegally operating and was unregistered with the Health Department. They did not have any valid degrees or relevant medical qualifications and were a health risk to society.

Final Thoughts

This heartbreaking loss is more than just a single tragedy; it’s a mirror reflecting the dangers lurking in unregulated healthcare. When unqualified hands perform life-and-death procedures, every patient becomes a gamble. Such incidents shatter families, shake public faith in medical care, and tarnish the image of genuine healthcare professionals. It’s a wake-up call for society and authorities alike: without strict enforcement and accountability, more lives may be stolen in the name of treatment.
