Amrita Lanka, eight, died from myocarditis in 2022 after arriving at the paediatric emergency department of Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne's south-east.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
"While I accept that EDs are busy places and Dr Tan was a relatively junior doctor with many responsibilities, the clinical management and care he provided to Amrita was wanting … and thereby caused or contributed to her death," Magistrate Spanos said.
Amrita was transferred to the acute section of the emergency department and suffered three cardiac arrests, the last shortly after a retrieval team from the Royal Children's Hospital arrived.
The coroner has ruled that the death of Melbourne schoolgirl Amrita Varshini Lanka was preventable
