TUGUEGARAO
CITY – The director of the Diffun District Hospital in Quirino has been
dismissed from the service after he was found guilty of grave misconduct and
gross negligence over the death of a seven-year-old patient in 2006.
Nenita de Vera, grandmother of
Reynalin Reniedo, filed the complaint.
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) said
Moises Lazaro did not allow the use of the hospital ambulance and approved the
removal of Reniedo’s breathing apparatus when she was transferred to the Quirino
Provincial Hospital.
Nurses Rosemarie Binuag and Gloria
Gaffud were suspended for one year without pay.
Lazaro
said he would not leave his post because the CSC ruling signed by regional
director Niles Agustin is not yet final. Lazaro said he would file a motion for
reconsideration.
He denied he was
remiss in his duties, saying they exerted all efforts to save the patient
