Yet another complaint against the New Amsterdam Hospital has surfaced. This time, scaly spots and lesions have started to appear about the body of a seven- month- old baby, Fiona Nowrang, of Adelphi, East Canje, a few days after an injection was administered by doctors at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
According to the mother of the baby, Omadai Gussai, the baby was admitted for a fever on Easter Sunday last and an injection was administered on her buttocks. Following that injection, the mother stated that boils and sores started to break out on the child’s body. Additionally, there appeared to be a small abscess where the injection was administered.
The mother decided to re- visit the hospital the following Thursday and a doctor requested that the child be admitted.
When she related her concerns to the doctor, Ms. Gussai said that she was told that the baby had a skin infection, “that nothing ain’t really happen”. “They said it’s just an abscess the child picked up”, said Gussai.
The woman added, too, that immediately after they took the baby home, an unbearable smell started to emanate from the child’s body. “Her skin was smelling—bad bad”.
The parents visited the Rose Hall Estate Dispensary which referred the child to the New Amsterdam Hospital and the parents were given ointments to apply on the baby’s skin. But the situation has not been improving. Gussai is convinced that the child is having a bad reaction to the injection administered on Easter Sunday.
Gussai added that the child’s skin was flawless before she was admitted to the hospital for the injection…“Clean, clean as ever—she had nothing on her face and nothing on her nose—after she get discharged then I see these things on her skin—thick, thick, we did scorn to hold her”.
Medical Superintendent of the New Amsterdam Hospital, Dr. Vishalya Sharma has invited the mother to return with her baby to the hospital for further checks. “What she needs to do is to come in and make a complaint and we will see her back and deal with her. It sounds like an allergy to something but we need to take a look at it again”, Dr. Sharma said.
