Maternal death due to hypertension, lung distress

May 21, 2015 News

The post mortem examination performed on 20-year-old Yonette Williams-Grey, the young mother, who passed away after a C-section on May10, last, has revealed that she died from compounded lung distress and hypertension (High Blood pressure).
The Post Mortem was conducted yesterday by Dr Nehaul Singh, at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Grey was 37 weeks into her first pregnancy when she was first admitted as a patient at the Oscar Joseph Hospital at Charity. She was poorly attended to by nurses at that Hospital and this compounded her medical condition.
She was transferred to the Suddie Public Hospital where doctors performed an emergency operation on Grey.
As a result of that procedure, doctors were successful in saving Grey’s daughter. Grey, who remained unconscious after the operation, was bleeding profusely, especially through her nostrils, ears and mouth. It appeared that the young mother was suffering from pregnancy related hypertension.
Grey was referred to the Georgetown Public Hospital where she later died.
Her mother-in-law, Nellie Grey, said that doctors at the Suddie Public Hospital informed her that her daughter-in-law’s death was due to poor treatment meted out to her by nurses at the Oscar Joseph Hospital.
The dead woman was married to Clifton Simon Grey, almost nine months ago. She has left to mourn a young husband and a ten-day old baby girl.
Funeral arrangements for Yonette Williams-Grey are scheduled for tomorrow.
