Baby suffering from septicaemia dies in hospital

The baby who was being treated for septicaemia died in hospital today, the Health Ministry said.

No further details were provided.

The eight-month-old girl was admitted to hospital on Monday.

The girl was being treated at the Neonatal Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (NPICU).

This development comes in the wake of two meningitis cases that hit children in the past days, prompting health authorities to give assurances that the three cases are unrelated.

A boy aged four died of meningitis, while the other is recovering.

The two cases were caused by two different types of bacterial meningitis.
