Active decisions by medical staff at Mayo University Hospital in Castlebar resulted in the “death of a perfectly healthy baby to a perfectly healthy mother” who had already suffered two stillbirths, an inquest has heard.
Lawyers for the parents of a baby boy who died three days after suffering complications at his birth at MUH in 2018 claimed his death was avoidable if he had been delivered as originally planned at 36 weeks gestation.
A hearing by Dublin District Coroner’s Court into the death of baby Cian Hunt was told the boy’s mother had already experienced the loss of two stillborn babies in similar circumstances.
