A distraught Saudi father has sought the intervention of the Health Minister for expediting investigations into the death of his 9-year-old son in a private hospital three months ago. Ali Al-Mehmadi, the father of the dead boy Hasan has complained that the Directorate of Health Affairs in Jeddah has taken too long to disclose the cause of his death and issue the results of the investigations. Dr. Sami Badawood, Director of Health Affairs in Jeddah, said he has directed to form an urgent committee to investigate the case. Khalid Al-Hammadi, Al-Mehmadi's lawyer, said that he will file a complaint against the Directorate of Health Affairs due to its procrastination in conducting the investigations. - Okaz __
