Son of Essequibo woman who died of dengue discharged from Suddie Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Liam Brummel, who was born prematurely at Suddie Public Hospital last month and whose mother died from complications related to dengue fever, was discharged from the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on July 20.

Liam was born to 19-year-old Lanita Jacobs at just 35 weeks of gestation and weighing 2,050 grams, via caesarean section. Jacobs was eight months pregnant when she was admitted to hospital on June 26, 2024, suffering from severe haemorrhaging and dengue fever. Her condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to her transfer to Georgetown Public Hospital, where she tragically succumbed to her illness.

Liam’s early days were a struggle for survival, marked by 23 difficult days in the neonatal intensive care unit.
