The Deputy State Coroner has ruled that 7-year-old Aishwarya Aswath died of natural causes but there was a small possibility the little girl’s death might have been prevented if she had been given urgent treatment shortly after arriving at Perth Children’s Hospital.

Aishwarya was brought to the emergency department in April 2021 because she had a high fever and her hands were cold.

She died from multiorgan failure due to sepsis, about three and a half hours later.

State Secretary of the Australian Nurses Federation Janet Reah told Gary Adshead on 6PR Mornings the findings confirm what nurses have been telling the government.
