DENGUE FEVER CLAIMS ANOTHER CHILD’S LIFE AT BUSTAMANTE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

Yet another child has succumbed to dengue fever at the Bustamante Hospital for Children. An 8-year-old boy whose name is Terrique Gopaulsingh, a student of Portsmouth Primary, died at the hospital yesterday at about 1 pm.

The ministry of health currently insists that there is no dengue fever outbreak even though they have admitted the need to build additional facilities to manage the number of cases they are currently seeing especially at Bustamante and Kingston Public Hospitals.
