Following allegations of medical negligence in the death of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's 21-month-old son at a Lagos hospital, Euracare has expressed empathy and issued clarifications. The Society of Anaesthetists is monitoring the case.

The tragic death of Nkanu Nnamdi, son of Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Dr. Ivara Esege, occurred in Lagos during the Christmas holidays after a brief infection. Plans for medical evacuation to the US were in place, but his condition worsened following tests at Euracare Hospital in Victoria Island on January 6, 2026.

Adichie alleged negligence contributed to the loss. In response, Euracare Hospital issued a statement empathizing with the family and clarifying the circumstances of the incident, aiming to address the claims directly.

The Society of Anaesthetists has announced it is closely monitoring the negligence allegations, highlighting scrutiny within the medical community.

This case continues to spotlight challenges in Nigeria's healthcare system, particularly emergency pediatric care, as further details emerge.

Watu wanasema nini

Discussions on X show widespread sympathy for Chimamanda Adichie and outrage over alleged medical negligence at Euracare Hospital, with users demanding investigations and accountability in Nigeria's healthcare. Some defend the hospital's response, citing the child's critical condition prior to arrival and ongoing probes by regulatory bodies. Skeptical voices question systemic failures allowing repeated incidents.
