China nurse's on-duty death ruled not work-related, sparking public outcry

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A 30-year-old nurse in China, Chen Jiajia, died from a brain hemorrhage that occurred while she was on duty. Despite experiencing severe symptoms at work and receiving emergency treatment, authorities ruled her death as not work-related. This decision has sparked public outrage, as Chinese law typically requires an on-duty illness to occur at the workplace or within 48 hours of emergency treatment to be classified as work-related. Chen Jiajia had been working at Guizhou Maotai Hospital in Zunyi and was later transferred to a hospital in Chongqing where she was declared brain-dead. AI
