Young mum died in 2011 after catching swine flu months before she was due to marry - inquest told

[tetano]

A young mum died after contracting swine flu just months before she was due to get married.

Joanne Oliver, 31, of McKie Close, Oldham, died at Manchester Royal Infirmary in January 2011 after a five-week battle in three different hospitals.

The mum-of-one was referred to A&E at Royal Oldham Hospital by her GP on December 13 suffering from severe aches, breathing trouble and vomiting.

Joanne, a sales assistant at Next, was transferred to Freeman Hospital in Newcastle a week later to receive specialist oxygen treatment as she struggled to breathe.

She died just hours after being flown back to Greater Manchester via air ambulance.

At an inquest into her death at Manchester Coroner?s Court, Joanne?s family said they were still looking for answers as to whether her final journey contributed to her death.

An inquest into her death heard the GP who treated Miss Oliver did not suspect she had swine flu because doctors had been given no direction to screen patients for a possible strain of the illness.

Five months prior to Miss Oliver's death on January, 17 2011, the World Health Organisation declared the notorious 2009 swine flu pandemic officially over.

But a week after her death, GPs were ordered to screen for the disease once more.
