Six months after babies die at PoSGH NICU…Deyalsingh urges parents to let legal process work

Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh is being cautious when it comes to answers for parents of babies who died at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital’s (PoSGH) Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Six months after eight babies died from bacterial infections at the NICU, some parents say they feel forgotten and abandoned.

However, Deyalsingh said parents should allow the legal process to take its course.

Former attorney general Anand Ramlogan, who is representing over one dozen families, issued pre-action protocol letters against the Northwest Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) for medical negligence.

Speaking to Guardian Media outside the Parliament yesterday, the Health Minister said, “Legal proceedings have begun, I would not like to say anything in the public domain to jeopardize those fair proceedings… I have always, from the beginning, extended my deepest condolences and I continue to do so, but now that the legal process has been engaged, let the legal process work.”

Asked what parents should do in the interim, he repeated, “Let the legal process work.”
