A mother is seeking answers about the recent death of her newborn baby girl at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).
Twenty-six-year-old Stephanie Burnett told Stabroek News that after giving birth on March 4th, by Caesarean section, she was discharged the next day but her baby was required to stay for observation as it was feared that the child would contract an infection that she had.
The woman said her baby was placed on an antibiotic regimen the same day and was expected to be given 2 ml every 8 hours.
However, last Sunday morning at about 6.14 am, Burnett shared that a nurse administered 6 ml instead of the prescribed 2 ml.
