Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) were fighting to save three-year-old Amanda Sankar who reportedly fell through the window of her two-storey home 23 David Rose Housing Scheme, Unity, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara.
According to reports at the time of the misfortune neither of the parents was home, the mother was at work and the father had just left his residence for work.
The 17-year-old sister, Nadira Sankar, said that she was in the kitchen cooking when her 14-year-old brother, Navin, who was also at home, alerted her that their baby sister had fallen through the window.
“When I go downstairs she wasn’t crying but I see plenty blood. I started to scream and I run and call we neighbour because mummy and daddy weren’t home.”
Neighbours contacted her father and the child was rushed to the Mahaicony Cottage Hospital where the doctors found that the matter was serious and ordered the ambulance to transport the baby to GPHC, where she underwent emergency surgery.
About an hour later the doctor came out and told the family that everything should be alright but that the child would be hospitalised for some time since she has suffered a fractured skull.
