Workers at the Charlestown Health Centre yesterday staged a “sit-in” to protest the lack of armed guards at the medical facility.
Workers said that they decided to take action as their numerous complaints to senior health officials remain unaddressed. The protest action also comes two days after a patient visiting the clinic was robbed by men who posed as patients.
Stabroek News was told that at around 1pm on Wednesday, a patient, who was waiting to meet with the doctor, was robbed of his valuables.
