A woman, who was left unable to have children after undergoing a procedure at the San Fernando General Hospital, has sued for medical negligence.
Late last year, lawyers representing the woman, whose identity was withheld due to the nature of the case, filed the lawsuit against the South West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA), which operates the State-owned medical institution.
According to her court filings, obtained by Guardian Media, in 2012 the woman underwent an operation at the hospital to remove her right fallopian tube.
