Health Minister gets report on Ramsoomair’s death

Port of Spain: Minister of Health Therese Baptiste Cornelius today confirmed that she has received the final report of the findings of the investigation into the death of 29-year-old Crystal Boodoo Ramsoomair.  While she did not reveal the details of the report she said she is convinced that the Attorney General needs to take a look at it.  She says there are some issues within the report that needs to be clarified. She was reluctant to divulge anything further.  Ramsoomair died on March 4 hours after delivering her baby by Caesarean section at the San Fernando General Hospital.  Her death led to public outrage and the initial suspenion of five doctors and four nurses from the hospital and later the firing of the CEO of the South West Regional Health Authority Paula Chester-Cumberbatch.
