A three-year-old girl was wrongly administered an anti-seizure drug before she died with the flu in a Perth hospital — but how and why the medication was given to the toddler is still a mystery. Aliyah Yugovich died suddenly in July, after contracting the flu following a routine tonsillectomy. Four months later, the little girl’s grieving parents have voiced their anger at learning their daughter was mistakenly given an unprescribed medication before her death.
It is understood all three hospitals have no record of the drug being administered to the toddler, and that the coroner may not be able to pinpoint where the drug was mistakenly administered. All three hospitals have been approached for comment but say they are unable to respond while investigations are underway. 7NEWS understands an independent board investigating the case on behalf of the health Department was not made aware of the finding until Mr and Mrs Yugovich notified them.
