“Jesus loves the little babies of the world…” This was just one of many songs sung at the candle light vigil in memory of the late Luan Rodney who died while in labour at the Georgetown Public Hospital on June 4.
Although Nigel Rodney was not present, dozens of family members and relatives of Luan Rodney stood opposite the Maternity Ward of the Georgetown Public Hospital and read scriptures, sang hymns and lit candles which drew a crowd of spectators.
One woman recited the oath of nursing.
A friend of the deceased, Cheryl Joseph told this publication, “we are hurting family and friends today for the deceased. We thought that if love was shown by the institution we would not have the outcome of what happened with Luan.”
Unata DaSilva another friend of the late Rodney said that the vigil was not held to condemn or attack any individual of the institution but just to show love. “We want to see something different happen at this hospital. I realize that not many persons have the finances to go to a private institution,” the woman said.
DaSilva added, “We hope that there is some change in the system because we don’t want another mother to go through what happened or even die, it must stop.”
GPHC in a press release said that the woman of mixed race died at 07:50hrs on June 4, and that an investigation had been launched into the circumstances surrounding her demise.
