The government of Puerto Rico and the Department of Health suffered a judicial defeat in their attempt to stop the lawsuit for damages filed by Jaideliz Moreno Ventura’s family after the 13-year-old teenager’s death on the island municipality of Vieques, due to lack of medical services.

Incomplete data on deaths from the last two years that the Demographic Registry delivered to the Center for Investigative Journalism prompted this organization to again sue Health Secretary Carlos Mellado López and the registry´s  Director Wanda Llovet Díaz.
