The family of a woman with a chronic health condition is demanding answers about why she died after waiting 14 hours for medical treatment at Abbotsford Regional Hospital.
Hana Raufi said her family does not want the death of her mom, Luanora Irtenkauf, 55, to be “arbitrary.”
“She was in pain. She needed help. But the one place we go that we rely on to help us and make us better not only failed her, but ultimately killed her,” Raufi said.
