Sixteen-year-old’s twins die after delivery at West Demerara hospital
November 13 2018
A 16-year-old mother is still in grief after her twins died shortly after delivery at the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) on Saturday and she blames it on negligence.
The baby boys were born prematurely to Preya Eshwar of Parika, East Bank Essequibo around 11.30 am and they both died shortly after.
Her mother, Sharmela Beni told Stabroek News that her daughter started having abdominal pain around 5:30 am on Saturday and they took her to the Leonora Diagnostic Centre.
A doctor there told her that Eshwar had an infection and referred her to the WDRH. They were advised to take her to the maternity ward.
But the nurses from the ward sent them down to the emergency room where they were again told that she had an infection and she had to have an “abortion.”
They then administered “saline and a blue tablet” and the pain increased. Around 10:30 am they sent her back to the maternity ward and her father pushed her in the wheelchair, as there was no porter available.
They waited in the “hallway” for about half an hour before the nurses took her to the ward. According to the mother, they also took another half hour asking her daughter questions before finally attending to her.
Beni said too that the first baby arrived by foot and that from the hallway they could hear her daughter screaming in pain. They also heard the baby crying.
Eshwar told this newspaper that the nurses were chatting and laughing nearby when she told them that they second baby was “coming out.” But before they could assist, the baby fell into the bedpan.
She said the nurses then placed both babies on the bed on “thin cloth napkins” without wrapping them although the room was extra cold from the air-conditioning unit.
Eshwar said both babies were still moving and she had begged the nurses to place them in the incubator. But they refused saying that the babies were already dead and left the room.
“I watch them dying but I couldn’t do anything,” the young mother said.
One hour later the nurses came back to the room to check them and told her that the babies were dead, that they were underweight and had “lung problem.”
She accepted that the babies were small but said they were fully developed. She lamented that the nurses made no effort to save the babies. “They didn’t even try,” she said sadly. Stabroek News was unable to get a comment from the hospital regarding the alleged neglect.
The Guyana Times, always with their half bake stories.
I don't condone the negligence by the nurses.The pregnancy by the 16 yr old mother need special attention.There can be complications due to the age of the mother and the babies are twins.
You doan have be a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Also the parents should be held responsible, the teenager should be in school instead of making babies.

Medical professionals need to show genuine concern for the mother and babies health throughout the delivery period. Why she wasn't in school and making babies is a different chapter. Guyana has hospitals where sick people go to get better or delivers their babies. It's not supposed to be a horrific experience.

From the inception of pregnancy, prenatal care was needed. The questions to be asked did the 16 yr old seek such care.

Guyana is a barbaric place. Not the country which I grew up in. I am left speechless after reading this. Two children just "thrown away". These people are beasts!
This is sheer negligence, 7 months premature babies have a high survival rate. The hospital should be sued.

In Guyana, when you poor, no one gives a shit! I can tell you, even to rural poor of India are treated with more humanity. You just saw the other day with the Kissoon guy, and this was in GT.

This is sad and painful any which way you look at it. It seems like the hospital had already made a decision even before the babies were born.

There might be a case for statutory rape since she would have been 15 when she got pregnant.

....are you suggesting that the cruel death of 2 children in front of their mother's eyes are "blessings in disguise"???????

Since these were preemies why were they not placed immediately into an incubator? They would need increased oxygen and warmth

Still every life is precious. You should not be the arbitrator of who deserves to live.
"A cuban doctor was videoing on her cell phone". I always held cuban doctors in high regard, after my experience with them. They are very disciplined people. Now reading this kinda left me feeling somewhat disappointed. On the other hand, im not surprised by the actions of the guyanese medical staff. Negligence is their area of expertise. I hope this young mother regardless of her age or whether she should be in school or not find some justice. Im not placing any bets tho.
This is one story that the PPP arm, Guyana Times choose to bring attention. Young mothers are dying during child birth at a regular basis, healthy people are dying in these ill equip hospitals every day, here you have preemies, not fully developed babies, Guyana don't have the equipment and expertise to deal with this situation.
DO YOU KNOW WHY PRESIDENT GRANGER IS IN CUBA, he wants to live.
KP, you are on the ball today.
