After stillbirth at Abbotsford Hospital comes a boost in physicians

Abbotsford Regional Hospital is hiring three more anesthesiologists to improve the safety and quality of obstetric care after a review identified a shortage of such specialists.
The review was commissioned last fall following the 2016 stillbirth death of Amari Mankatala. His death occurred as a result of a delayed caesarean section on Alisha Mankatala on a Sunday when only one anesthesiologist and one obstetrician were on duty and frantically attending to multiple urgent cases.
