Mother of baby with fatal foetal anomaly: ‘We don’t want this to happen to anyone else’

Jazmine Sands is grateful for the occasional telephone call from Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, checking up on how she is doing, more than eight months after her baby girl passed away.

“They mean the world to us; they are such amazing people who showed us so much compassion at such a dark time…we will never forget how they gave our daughter comfort in her final hours and the support they continued to give to us,” she says.

Isabella died in Crumlin within days of her birth at University Hospital Kerry, where she was delivered by Caesarean section on May 23 last year.
