APNU+AFC will pick up Jaden Mars case
– Dr. George Norton
At an APNU+AFC press conference yesterday, Dr George Norton said that the coalition will
Jaden Mars
pick up the Jaden Mars case, as “it may be the only correct thing to do.”
Norton said that it is a reflection of complacency, to have the Minister of Health, Dr Bheri Ramsaran, openly saying that he “does not know why after one year the Jaden Mars reports are not out.”
Norton then opined that the Guyanese public is being taken for granted by the Ministry of Health. The procrastination of results has given the insinuation that after a period of time the Ministry will forget about all these deaths and reports that are expected, according to Norton.
The cases are being kicked under the carpet by the Ministry who is hoping that the Guyanese nation will forget it, Norton added.
Making mention of the recent protest by mothers of two of the three children who died allegedly by negligence of health practitioners, Norton said that “this is something this coalition will certainly pick up immediately.”
“We have seen up to recently the mothers were picketing outside the Health Ministry, wanting to have an end to the cases, begging for justice.”
Norton pledged that investigations into these pending cases will be brought to an end in the shortest, possible time.
Natalie Caseley, mother of Jaden Mars, has maintained her optimism of receiving justice for her son. She was one of the two mothers who protested outside the Ministry of Health recently. She claimed that she was informed by the Health Minister that a new investigation has been launched into the death of her son.
Ramsaran has since admitted that the investigations have been long overdue, hence the investigation was launched.
Mars died in December 2013, after he was believed to have been given an overdose of anesthetic by health practitioners at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The four-year-old was rushed to the institution with a cut on his tongue.
