Failure after Failure: Private Hospitals’ Appalling Treatment of Pregnant Mum | 60 Minutes Australia

IAug 7, 2022 If you believe when it comes to hospital care, going private beats going public, it might be time to think again. 37-year-old Annie Moylan was fit, healthy, and 18 weeks pregnant with her second child, very happy. When she got sick with a fever she didn't hesitate to go to a nearby private hospital in Melbourne for treatment. And why not? It was brand new. But what happened next was appalling. Failure after failure. Annie didn't get better; she and her unborn child, died. On assignment for 60 MINUTES, the Today Show's Christine Ahern reports on a tragic series of mistakes that will make you seethe with anger.
