Spokesperson Luyanda Majija said the 14-week-old girl, who had lost her pulse,
was quickly transported to the nearest clinic and resuscitated for over an hour
before her pulse was restored.
“While she was
being transported to Albert Luthuli Provincial Hospital for urgent medical
care, her pulse dropped to which advanced life interventions ensued. Unfortunately
these interventions proved unfruitful as her body failed to revive. The baby
was declared dead at the hospital.” Majija added.
She said the
infant’s mother is being treated for her back and neck injuries at RK Khan
Hospital.
