flag 8-year-old Amrita Varshini Lanka died from lymphocytic myocarditis at Melbourne's Monash Children's Hospital after her mother claimed that staff ignored her pleas for help. flag Amrita's mother, Satya Tarapureddi, stated that during her daughter's 21-hour stay, she pressed the emergency call button multiple times without receiving assistance. flag Dr. Patrick Tan, the emergency department registrar on duty, admitted there were oversights in Amrita's care, including not recognizing the severity of her condition and not appreciating the extent of her heart report's abnormal results. flag The inquest will investigate whether the care provided was reasonable, if the family's concerns were addressed adequately, and if resource constraints or competing demands contributed to Amrita's death.
