Banners seen on Saturday showed their dissatisfaction with the medical care received by the young man from Pajakino, who has now died.

One sign read: “Justice for Abraham and all victims of medical malpractice.”

Messages such as “Enough has been neglected” or “We speak out for Abraham” were also carried during the peaceful march this Saturday morning.

Another issue highlighted during the group was the hospital’s fourth shift.
