The Berbice Regional Health Authority (BRHA) is conducting a probe into the death of 11-year-old Varshanie Devi Persaud who was apparently misdiagnosed and treated for “suspected sickle cell.”
The child, called ‘Sasha’ of Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice was referred to the institution from the Fort Wellington Hospital to undergo a test for the disease. She ended up being admitted for the night.
