GPHC maternal death- post mortem inconclusive, samples taken for testing

Spokesperson for the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation Ms Proctor said an official report has not yet been submitted in connection with the death of Nurse Charlene Amsterdam. She said the hospital’s management is concern with a statement published in one of the daily newspaper which stated, “A close relative said that no one from the ministry or the hospital has even contacted the family to express their sympathy”. With regards to the hospital staff, it must be said that this statement is completely untrue.

The Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael H. Khan met with an individual who presented himself as the uncle of the late Nurse Amsterdam and the Director of Nursing Services, Mrs. Audrey Corry met with her reputed husband; and they (family) have been informed of the activities that the hospital/staff members have planned.
Charlene Amsterdam had a Caesarean Section delivery and died. Miss Amsterdam was one of the employees who worked in the Emergency Room and assisted with health care delivery.
