Team to probe GPHC death

A committee has been set up to investigate the death of 28-year-old Basmattie Balkarran, who died at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Saturday after allegedly being left there for hours without receiving any medical attention.

A press release from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) last evening said that it views with “deep concern”, the article headlined ‘Patient dies at Georgetown Hospital after left unattended for hours’, in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek.
