A Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice mother yesterday said she had to deliver her premature baby on a bed in a ward at the New Amsterdam Hospital in January and she decried the treatment she experienced.
Her baby, who she later named Alayna, succumbed in the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) one day after being delivered.
Bhanmattie Jagnanan, 29, said that she was admitted at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital on January 10. According to the woman, after she began experiencing pain and other symptoms she went to the health institution where she was told that she was diagnosed with dengue fever. As of result of this, medical practitioners there told her that “baby would come and she (baby) wouldn’t stand a chance”, since her baby would be only six months and two weeks.
