Hours after a stillbirth delivery, a 31-year-old Corentyne mother of three succumbed in the wee hours of yesterday morning, plunging her family into grief and prompting claims of negligence against staff of the New Amsterdam Public Hospital.
Vanessa Sahadeo, also known as ‘Venny’, 31, was admitted to the hospital last Monday to deliver her fourth child.
But by Friday, she had delivered the stillborn baby and was then forced to endure an hours-long wait for an ambulance to transport her to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), where she would eventually die herself.
