Five-year-old Jai-Devi Gurdyal passed away at the Georgetown Public Hospital on Friday after suffering an asthma attack and relatives say they were told she had been overdosed on antibiotics at the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) earlier that morning.
The Sunday Stabroek reached out yesterday to the WDRH for a comment on the claim but was unable to obtain any information on what may have caused Jai-Devi’s death. The Sunday Stabroek understands that the Medical Council of Guyana will be contacted on the matter.
The child was first admitted to the WRDH (Best Hospital) for treatment, and eventually transferred to Georgetown.
