A WOMAN suspected of being the mother of a seven- month male foetus that was found in a garbage heap, near Church’s Chicken at Corriverton, is currently receiving emergency care at the New Amsterdam Hospital.

The thirty-three-year-old woman was taken to the health institution on Monday afternoon and was subsequently rushed to the Operating Theatre.
When this reporter along with police visited the institution, hospital officials said the woman was “still in the theatre.” Sources said the patient was bleeding profusely when admitted.
However, other medical personnel said that if the foetus was indeed seven months, it could have survived with intervention from the new neonatal intensive care unit.
On Monday morning, just before 07:00hrs the remains of a partially bitten male foetus was discovered by the staff attached to Church’s Chicken restaurant at Corriverton, Corentyne.
The male foetus of East Indian descent was found in garbage just outside the business premises. Witnesses said the foetus had been bitten by rodents. In the meantime, investigations are continuing.
