Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), the Nation’s provider of Health Services, has noted  a front page article of the Guyana Chronicle (Jan, 25th inst) under the headline –‘Young mother and newborn baby die within hours of each other at GPHC – devastated relatives hoping PMEs provide answers’.GPHC hereby states categorically that these deaths did not occur at this Institution. Our staff members are severely upset over this embarrassing headline cum detailed story. We therefore seek a retraction of this erroneous information.
