Rama Abdullah Al-Muhaimed, the 5-year-old girl who received chemotherapy by mistake at a Buraidah hospital, is under treatment at a hospital in the United States.

The Saudi girl was given the wrong treatment at Prince Faisal Oncology Center after it received an incorrect medical report from the laboratory at King Fahd Specialist Hospital in Buraidah. The sample tests of Rama were switched with that of a young cancer patient named Rami.

Rama’s father told a local newspaper that the family met their American doctor as soon as they arrived in the US. The doctor was briefed on the child's condition and her medical reports.

Rama was treated for fever after the doctor examined her. The doctor has asked for Rama’s test samples from Saudi Arabia.

The father said the doctor was surprised that a mistake like this could occur. She gave Rama antibiotics and a nourishing solution.

He said that Rama was still fearful and needed time to adjust to her surroundings.

Rama’s father said that a source on the medical body investigating the mistake in Saudi Arabia, told him that King Fahd Specialist Hospital in Buraidah bears 70 percent of the blame, while the Maternity and Children’s Hospital in Qassim bears 30 percent of the blame.

The Saudi government is paying for Rama’s medical treatment in the Kingdom and the United States.
