The par­ents of a four-year-old boy who died at the Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex (EWM­SC) on April 17, are re­ject­ing the North Cen­tral Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty’s (NCRHA) re­sponse to their at­tor­neys af­ter al­leg­ing that med­ical staff neg­li­gence led to their son’s death.

Ish­war and Abena Clement main­tain that at no point did doc­tors or nurs­es in­di­cate that their son Ay­den’s con­di­tion was crit­i­cal. The child had been ad­mit­ted to the hos­pi­tal with a swollen knee and a limp.

“In ear­ly Feb­ru­ary, we car­ried him (to the hos­pi­tal) af­ter two days we saw him with a lit­tle limp when he was walk­ing and climb­ing,” Ish­war said.
