Two neonatal deaths were recorded at the Suddie Public Hospital in June and not five as claimed by the parliamentary opposition.
Dr. Ranjeev Singh, the Regional Health Officer (RHO) yesterday said that the allegations published on the Leader of the Opposition’s Facebook page suggesting that five neonatal deaths occurred in June within the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are wrong.
While speaking to Stabroek News, Dr. Singh stated, “We did not have 5 neonatal deaths in June, and we have never gone without an OBGYN team or gynecologists.”
