TRHA ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERNAL DEATH

Brinsley Sheppard received some closure today, after the Tobago Regional Health Authority took responsibility in the death of his wife and newborn son.

Luciana Sheppard and her son Ajani died on October 31st last year at the Scarborough Hospital.

According to Mr Sheppard’s attorney, Martin George, the hospital first admitted to negligence, but has now accepted liability.

In accepting liability, the TRHA also agreed (in essence) to compensate Mr Sheppard for his loss.

Mr Martin meanwhile is calling for the public unveiling of a recently conducted report into Maternal and Infant Deaths at the TRHA
