Less than a week after cradling her newborn baby on Christmas Day, a young woman died at the Georgetown Public Hospital yesterday.
The 19-year-old, Marine Persaud of Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara, delivered a baby girl early Christmas morning and was discharged the next day.
In a press statement yesterday, the Georgetown Public Hospital stated the young woman became sick afterward and was taken to the Diamond Hospital. She was later referred to the city hospital, where she died in the Accident and Emergency Unit, a few hours after.
“The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation extends sincere condolences to the bereaved family,” the hospital said.
A post mortem is expected to be performed on Friday.
