"Khelisyah Ashamu, a 26-year-old mother-of-one, had travelled to Izmir in February 2019 for a gastric bypass operation. She had been struggling with her weight and was particularly concerned about her stomach's appearance after a Caesarean section. She turned to Get Slim in Turkey, an agency operated by British expatriates, paying 3,300 for the procedure and accommodation. Eight days after the surgery, Ms Ashamu's condition deteriorated significantly. She suffered a cardiac arrest following exploratory follow-up surgery and died in a Turkish hospital on 9 February 2019."
The Independent funds on-the-ground journalism across topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging and does not use paywalls, relying on donations to send reporters to cover events and investigate matters such as political PAC finances and documentaries about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A separate case involved grieving parents who secured an 858,000 compensation payout after their daughter, Khelisyah Ashamu, died following budget gastric bypass surgery in Izmir, Turkey. She suffered complications leading to cardiac arrest and a coroner recorded gastrointestinal ischaemia as the cause of death. Her parents launched a High Court claim against the agency.
