Police called in over woman’s false claims of losing twin babies at GPHC

…hospital finds no records, exposes fake internet ultrasound images

The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has reported a recent case to the Guyana Police Force, following an alleged series of false claims made that she lost her twin babies at the medical institution and alleged malpractice by medical staff.
GPHC issued a statement to address and clarify serious allegations recently aired by HGP Nightly News and currently circulating on social media, involving an individual identified as Narepa Makhanlall.
The report by the GPHC to the police came after a video broadcast and a subsequent meeting with Makhanlall at GPHC, during which she claimed she had been a patient at the hospital’s Gynaecology Clinic for 16 weeks.
She further alleged that on Wednesday, May 7, an ultrasound revealed she was 45 weeks pregnant with twins, both deceased.
However, after conducting extensive internal investigations, GPHC found no record of any patient by the name Narepa Makhanlall in its medical system.
This includes the Obstetrics & Gynaecology Clinic records, admissions and discharge registers, daily census data, delivery logs, and the hospital’s Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for ultrasound imaging.
Makhanlall was also unable to provide any official hospital-branded documents to support her claims of clinic visits or hospitalization.
In relation to the ultrasound images she shared publicly, GPHC clarified that those images were identical to scans found on the internet, dated December 2024. The hospital further stated that the images were 4D and 5D scans, which GPHC does not offer and therefore could not have originated from its facility.
GPHC also revealed that, CCTV footage from the relevant areas of the hospital during the time in question also showed no evidence of Makhanlall’s presence.
Additionally, a medical examination conducted on May 15 — with her consent and in the presence of relatives — revealed no clinical signs of recent pregnancy, delivery, or surgical intervention, such as sutures, which directly contradicts her claims.
GPHC reiterated its commitment to transparency, accountability, and excellence in patient care. The hospital encourages members of the public to report concerns or queries through its official communication channels.
