The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has launched an investigation into the death of a 17-year-old after she delivered her baby via caesarian section in the maternity ward on Tuesday.
The death of Esther Edwards, 17, of Laluni Creek, Soesdyke, has been recorded as Guyana’s latest maternal fatality.
According to a source from the Ministry of Public Health, who confirmed the death of the teen, Edwards was experiencing some issues and she complained to the hospital staff about abdominal pains before she died.
