After a wait of several months, medical records for six-year-old Sharezer Mendonca, who died at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) in January after being administered cancer drugs, were handed over to her family a few weeks ago.
The family’s attorney Ganesh Hira told Stabroek News that the report containing approximately 400 pages was handed over to the family three weeks ago and they have been reviewing it. He said that during their review, it was observed that a vital page was missing and they are in the process of making this known to the hospital. Hira said they will use the opportunity to request the document from the hospital before proceeding with legal action.
The attorney added that the family will move forward and file legal action even if the document is not submitted to them.
