The Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) has admitted that their intensive care unit (ICU) was filled to capacity between December 31, 2020 and January 1, 2021 during which time accident victim, a Diamond Hospital nurse, Danata Damon succumbed to her injuries.
Damon was slated to be admitted to the ICU but almost twenty-four hours following her arrival at the hospital, she remained a patient in the emergency room (ER) where she subsequently died.
Stabroek News had previously learnt from the now dead woman’s brother, Jason Damon, that he and his family were told that his sister needed to be taken to the ICU but said that afterwards they were told the ICU was filled.
