Overseas-based doctors treating seven-year-old Shaniya Persaud, who was severely burnt more than a month ago after a fire gutted her Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara home, has given her a poor prognosis for recovery.
This disclosure was made yesterday morning by non-governmental organisation Saving Hands Emergency Aid (SHEA), which said that one of Persaud legs, a few of her fingers and a section of one of her ears were removed on Friday night.
SHEA, one of donors that aided Persaud’s transportation to the United States for treatment, explained that despite doctors “incredible” efforts to save Persaud life, her wounds are not healing.
