Yusuf Nazir: Report critical of Rotherham Hospital over death of five-year-old sent home | ITV News

The mother of a five-year-old boy who lost his life after being sent home from hospital said he was "left to die" after a report found medics ignored her "instinct" that her son was unwell.

Yusuf Mahmud Nazir died on 23 November 2022, eight days after he was sent home from Rotherham Hospital with antibiotics for tonsillitis.

A new report published on Thursday by NHS England was critical of the care Yusuf received.

It said: “Our primary finding is that the parental concerns, particularly the mother’s instinct that her child was unwell, were repeatedly not addressed across services."
