Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony yesterday said his ministry will be conducting a thorough probe into the two maternal deaths which occurred at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation over the weekend.
In separate statements on Saturday night and yesterday, the hospital said two mothers died as a result of complications.
In the first case, a 40-year-old maternity patient from Region Six died on Saturday at the Ocean View Infectious Diseases Hospital. The woman was initially a patient at the New Amsterdam Hospital but was transferred.
