Three members of the Suddie Hospital staff have been arrested as part of an investigation into the disappearance of a quantity of drugs allocated to the hospital only last week.
A press release from the Ministry of Public Health yesterday explained that the police were called in to investigate after a visit to the hospital by a Ministerial Task Force found that the authorities there were unable to account for several items sent only last week Tuesday by the ministry’s Materials Management Unit (MMU).
Divisional Commander Superintendent Khalil Pareshram told Stabroek News that an ambulance driver and two pharmacist assistants were arrested yesterday and have since been released on bail.
