A medical doctor, Dr. Ere Ogbachi, has died following complications after delivering triplets in Bayelsa State.
The death was confirmed in a Facebook statement on Wednesday by her brother, Meshack Sintei, who disclosed that she was rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, where she died at about 2:45 a.m. on April 14, 2026.
According to the family, complications set in shortly after she successfully gave birth, prompting an emergency transfer to intensive care.
“She successfully gave birth to triplets at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital in Okolobiri… complications arose that eventually forced us to rush her to the Intensive Care Unit in FMC Yenagoa,” the statement said.
The family described her final moments as distressing, noting that medical personnel made efforts to save her life as her condition deteriorated rapidly.
“We watched her struggling to live… while the team of doctors and other experts in FMC kept trying their best to revive her,” the statement added.
Her oxygen saturation level was said to have dropped significantly during the emergency response.
Sintei described her death as devastating, noting that she was a dedicated medical professional and new mother of triplets.
“It was a painful experience… my beloved sister died at exactly 2:45 a.m. on April 14, 2026. A generation has been lost, and the Sintei family mourns,” he said.
Until her death, Dr. Ogbachi was a registrar at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital, a member of the Nigerian Medical Association, and an alumna of the Niger Delta University.
Efforts to obtain official confirmation from hospital authorities were ongoing at the time of filing this report.
