Canefield family protests over death of children at NA hospital

Arianna and Vishnu Mohabeer

The Canefield family who lost two children days apart last month protested outside the New Amsterdam Public Hospital last week calling for answers from the authorities over pathology tests.

Kumar Mohabeer, 33, of Canefield, East Canje Berbice, father of the children, Vishnu Mohabeer, also known as ‘Ricardo’, 10, and Arianna Mohabeer, 9, who died suddenly last month, had told this newspaper that despite their efforts to contact officials within the regional health authority they had not received any official word as to the cause of death of Arianna and the ongoing investigation.

As such last Wednesday, the family held a protest outside of the New Amsterdam Hospital demanding justice and seeking answers.
