The Management of Woodlands Limited yesterday said it had found “no failure” by its staff in their care of Tamera Leslie, the young woman whom it said had a “miscarriage” on Monday evening at the hospital.

Leslie, 20, was devastated after her premature delivery at the hospital.  

The woman, who said she was six months’ pregnant at the time, told Stabroek News that she delivered a visibly alive baby but was told that the child would die since she was just six months along. The survival rate for babies born at such an early stage is extremely low.
