Gov’t sacks Berbice-based pathologist

Forensic Pathologist Dr Vivekanand Brijmohan is no longer with the Ministry of Public Health as his services were terminated over a week ago.

Dr Brijmohan, who has operated mostly in Berbice for many years now, yesterday told Stabroek News that two Mondays ago, he was contacted to uplift a letter from the ministry. He said that after reading the letter, he discovered that it was actually his termination letter although his contract would not have been up for a year and a half.

Reasons for his firing were not listed in the letter. However, he said, the letter did take him by surprise but he remained quiet since that is the type of person he is.
