15 April 2021

A preliminary investigation of a case in which a baby died before birth while under the care of nurses at the Onandjokwe hospital is still incomplete, executive director of the health ministry Ben Nangombe has said.

It is alleged that none of the nurses at the Onandjokwe hospital attended to Ndatyooli Hamunyela (27) while she was experiencing labour contractions since arriving at the facility last Friday at about 23h00. The baby was full term but died in her womb two days later and was removed via caesarean section on Monday.
