Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. June 12, 2010.
The Ministry of Health wishes to express its most sincere condolences to Ms. Diamond Black, whose child passed away at home, after falling ill and visiting the Sangre Grande Filter Clinic. The Minister of Health has launched a full fledged investigation into the matter.
A preliminary report received by the Eastern Regional Health Authority on the matter is inconclusive. However, the Minister of Health has directed the Eastern Regional Health Authority to investigate the circumstances under which the late baby twin was diagnosed and treated, as well as the causes of his unfortunate death.
If the expert findings provide any evidence of wrong doing or malpractice, then the Ministry of Health will immediately take appropriate action, as is deemed fit and according to proper legal and established procedures.
The Minister of Health has further instructed the Eastern Regional Health Authority to provide appropriate counseling and other support services to the family of the deceased.
