A female medical doctor, Ere Siana Sintei Ogbachi, has passed away after developing complications shortly after she gave birth to triplets at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH) in Okolobiri, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
Sources within the family said she initially showed signs of recovery after the delivery. Her condition later worsened unexpectedly.
She was then transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Yenagoa for advanced treatment.
Despite efforts by medical personnel, she was confirmed dead in the early hours of April 14, 2026.
In a statement issued by Meshack N. Sintei, the family described the loss as devastating. They noted that all attempts to save her life did not succeed.
The statement added that doctors at FMC Yenagoa worked continuously to stabilise her condition as it declined, but she did not survive. It also explained that her vital signs kept dropping despite close monitoring.
The late doctor was described as a dedicated health professional, a wife, and a mother to her newborn triplets. She was a member of the Nigerian Medical Association and a graduate of the Niger Delta University.
Her death has drawn reactions from colleagues and members of the medical community, many of whom described the incident as deeply tragic.
The family also thanked friends, colleagues, and supporters for their sympathy and solidarity during the difficult period.
