This comes more than three years after the death of a baby whose mother has just won a Court of Appeal decision on her lawsuit against the hospital.
On November 18 the Vanuatu court found the hospital guilty of negligence in its care of Monique Joseph resulting in her child's death.
In its ruling the court found midwives' misunderstanding of the guidelines for monitoring women in labour, compounded by a long delay in the shift-change on the day, resulted in Monique Joseph not being monitored for more than eight hours.
