The husband of Beverly Bumbury, the pregnant woman who died during the wee hours of Sunday morning while en route to the hospital, is calling for a probe into what he says was a refusal by a health worker to offer medical care to his wife before her death.
The 40-year-old woman, a mother of seven of Bonasika, Lower Essequibo River, was eight months pregnant with twins when she died.
According to the police, the woman was en route to a hospital when she lost consciousness and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Leonora Cottage Hospital. A post-mortem examination later confirmed that she died as a result of brain haemorrhaging due to high blood pressure.
