\nDeath of mom after C-section at hospital<\/p>\n
\nFive doctors and four nurses, who were on duty when Crystal Ramsoomair died after giving birth on March 4 at the Maternity Ward of the San Fernando General Hospital, were given their letters of suspension yesterday.<\/p>\n
\nELECTIVE surgeries in the much maligned Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Ob-Gyn) Department at San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH) were cancelled yesterday after five doctors were handed suspension letters in the hospital’s conference room. <\/p>\n
\nCLEAR heads must prevail in a brewing row over the suspension of five doctors and four nurses at San Fernando General Hospital (SFGH) after an allegedly botched C-section operation led to the tragic death of 29-year old Chrystal Boodoo-Ramsoomair. <\/p>\n
\nThe woman at the centre of a controversy surrounding the delay in suspension letters being issued to medical staff who were on duty on March 4, when a botched Caesarean section resulted in the death of a woman, has been fired. <\/p>\n
\nFOR delaying the issuing of suspension letters to five doctors and four nurses based on a directive by the board of the South-West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA), the authority’s chief executive officer (CEO) Paula Chester-Cumberbatch was fired yesterday. <\/p>\n
\nDr Anand Chattergoon, medical director at the San Fernando General Hospital, said he would not be surprised if action is taken against him for supporting the doctors and nurses suspended pending an investigation into the Caesarean-section death of 29-year-old Chrystal Boodoo-Ramsoomair. <\/p>\n
