The families of two of the three children who died in 2019 at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), after medication was incorrectly administered to them, have accepted compensation from the hospital, while the other is pressing ahead with legal action.
Chelauna Providence, Head of Strategic Planning and Communications at GPHC, confirmed to Stabroek News that two families have decided to accept compensation from the hospital. The families of seven year-old Curwayne Edwards, and three-year old Roshini Seegobin have accepted compensation packages, although the amount agreed was not disclosed.
Meanwhile, Ganesh Hira, attorney for the family of the third victim, Sherezer Mendonca, indicated that they are currently putting together the case file and are likely to file the lawsuit next week.
