Judge slams NWRHA over newborn deaths

Click to view full size

THE North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) “cloaked itself in the doctrine of legal professional privilege” while disregarding its obligation to investigate the deaths of seven newborns at the Port of Spain General Hospital in 2024, a High Court judge has ruled.

Justice Robin Mohammed said the authority’s failure to properly investigate the deaths, including its failure to obtain accounts from the bereaved mothers, amounted to a breach of its own Adverse Events Policy.
