flag A health district in southwest Sydney is under investigation after a joint inquest found the 2019 death of mother Gia Lam and the 2021 death of her infant daughter Serena Lee were preventable. flag Lam died from sepsis due to an untreated urinary tract infection following childbirth, with the coroner citing missed clinical signs, lack of documentation, and no access to a Vietnamese translator during a home visit that hindered communication. flag Her nurse, a midwife with 12 years of experience, failed to recognize warning signs like a persistent foul odor and did not record observations. flag The inquest concluded similar failures contributed to the infant’s death, prompting calls for systemic reform, accountability, and internal investigations into the involved medical staff.
