The mother of five-year-old Jai-Devi Gurdyal who died at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) in September, is still awaiting answers and documents pertaining to her child’s death.
Umawattie Gonace, who spoke with Stabroek News on Saturday, said she has still not received any of the medical files with details about her daughter from either the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH), or the GPH.
“I made contact with Best Hospital [WDRH] and I went there. They said the record has to go from hand to hand before I can receive it,” she related.
She said that just last week she had informed the hospital of her intention to pursue legal action if they did not release her daughter’s files, and she fears they might attempt to falsify the records.
