Perth, Australia – 27th September, 2019: Western Australia's Child and Adolescent Health Service has failed in its bid to challenge a judge's finding that negligence by doctors at a Perth hospital burns unit left a toddler disabled.
Sunday Mabior was 18 months old when admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital with scald injuries in 2005 and wound up two days later in the intensive care unit, where she suffered organ failure, heart attacks, brain damage and cerebral palsy.
"The failure to provide her with antibiotics led to her suffering from two cardiac arrests and a brain injury from which she will never recover," Maurice Blackburn senior associate Ian Murray said after the appeal judgment was handed down on Friday.
