"Tragic Loss: Newborn Girl's Mysterious Death Leaves Parents Desperate for Answers"

A newborn baby girl died from a preventable Group B Strep infection, which her mother unknowingly passed on during labor. The parents are advocating for routine testing for the infection, which costs around £15, to be made available to all mums-to-be in the UK. The baby's deteriorating health went unnoticed until it was too late, and despite efforts to save her, she tragically passed away. Campaigners and medical experts believe that routine testing could prevent around 350 babies each year from developing GBS infection, potentially saving 15 lives and protecting another 15 from life-changing disabilities.
