Education Minister Octavia Alfred expresses sincere condolences to the family and friends of an infant who died while at daycare this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training, and National Excellence in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Social Services join the general public in expressing sincere condolences to the parents, family, and friends on the unfortunate loss of the infant while at the daycare,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cWe also empathize with the proprietor, staff of the daycare as well as their families on the unfortunate incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Alfred, the counselors within the Ministry of Education are available to provide services to those who have been immediately impacted by this incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur prayers continue to be with you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As a result of this unfortunate incident, the police have since launched an investigation and one individual is currently in custody being questioned.<\/p>\n

Dominica News Online (DNO) has been reliably informed that on January 10, 2023, the female child was dropped off at a daycare in good health but later that day, she was found unresponsive.<\/p>\n

The infant was taken to the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) where she was examined and officially pronounced dead by a medical doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Education Minister Octavia Alfred expresses sincere condolences to the family and friends of an infant who died while at daycare this week. \u201cThe Ministry of Education, Human Resource Planning, Vocational Training, and National Excellence in conjunction with the Ministry of…","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":290916,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[301,286,77,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-297055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-death","category-governance","category-homepage","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEducation Minister expresses condolences to loved ones of deceased infant -
