Minister of Human Services and Social Security Dr Vindhya Persaud yesterday pledged to raise the case of Vanessa Lewis-Sahadeo, the Corentyne mother who died after an unsuccessful delivery at the New Amsterdam Hospital, at the level of Cabinet so as to have the matter thoroughly investigated.
The relatives of Sahadeo yesterday held a peaceful protest outside of the St. Francis Community Developers, where the minister was expected to give the feature address at a scheduled programme.
However, after arriving at the location, Minister Persaud ventured over to them and she spoke with Sahadeo’s parents and other relatives gathered.
