Baby girl died in Leeds hospital after NHS 'failed to spot jaundice'

A heartbroken mum who tragically lost her infant daughter to liver failure, has blasted the medics who cared for her after they failed to spot jaundice in her newborn baby.

Jenner Akanwo was just 37 weeks pregnant when she gave birth to her third child Misha at the Royal Preston Hospital on November 8 in 2020.

The baby was slightly underweight at the time, and labour was induced after the number had become static - but she was later found to be ‘healthy and thriving’ by midwives and health visitors, reports Lancashire Live.
