In the light of two reported infant deaths last week, Minister of Public Heath Dr George Norton has reiterated that his ministry continues to work to reduce the maternal and infant mortality rate.
It has been reported that a 21-year-old mother of three barely survived her fourth pregnancy after she suffered a ruptured uterus and began bleeding profusely. The mother survived after undergoing an emergency C-Section but the infant succumbed three days later in the Intensive Care Unit of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
