“She successfully gave birth to triplets at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital in Okolobiri. Complications arose that eventually forced us to rush her to the Intensive Care Unit in FMC Yenagoa,” the statement said.
The family said that doctors and nurses worked hard to save her life in the ICU as her condition quickly got worse.
We watched her struggling to live, we watched her gasping for breath, we watched how the team of doctors and other experts in FMC kept trying their best to revive her,” it stated.
They added that her oxygen saturation levels dropped significantly during the emergency response.
“The SpO2 machine in the ICU began reading downwards from 70 to 50 and then to 0,” it said.
Sintei described the loss as devastating, noting that she was a committed medical professional and a new mother of triplets.
