Rashanna Dindayal, 31, and her unborn child died on October 20 at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) and her family is concerned that they have not been given accurate information about her passing.

Dindayal, a mother of two from Lodge,  apparently collapsed at the hospital while making her way to the washroom unattended. She was said to have suffered a severe head wound and died thereafter.

The dead woman’s mother, Shairma Dindayal, told Stabroek News yesterday that around 10 am on Thursday, 20th October she received a call from the GPHC saying her daughter was in a critical condition and to go to the hospital urgently. When she arrived she was put to sit downstairs where she was initially told by a doctor that Rashanna’s heart rate and blood count were low. At this point she said that the doctor said nothing about her daughter’s fall. According to Shairma, the doctor told her that her daughter “can’t make it”.
