Charlene Amsterdam

`Working at hospital had been her dream’

A registered nurse and mother of two passed away yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital – two days after giving birth – adding to the troubling number of such cases recently.

According to relatives of 40-year-old Charlene Amsterdam, a mother of a 15-year old girl and a new-born daughter, the woman delivered a bouncing baby on Fri-day around lunch time at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) but she continued to bleed heavily and subsequently died while receiving treatment yesterday morning.
