St Vincent’s PM seeks medical attention in Venezuela
Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr Ralph Gonsalves, left his country on Sunday for Venezuela to seek medical attention.
Speaking on WEFM 99.9 yesterday, the prime minister said he would be travelling to Venezuela and possibly to Cuba for medical attention. Gonsalves said on Thursday night; he did not sleep well because of excruciating pain in his right side.
The prime minister said he went to the hospital on Good Friday and was attended to and looked after exceptionally well by local doctors and other health personnel. However, he was advised to do a complete check-up.'
Gonsalves noted he did a complete medical check-up last year in Cuba in July. He also intended to go to Cuba again, but the ‘Venezuelans insisted he come there.' He said the insistence is from the highest level.
The prime minister said he would probably miss the visit of Prince Edward, The Earl of Wessex and his wife, who will be visiting St Vincent and the Grenadines for one day this Saturday on behalf of The Queen.
Gonsalves stated that he had already written a letter to the Earl, which the Cabinet Secretary would transmit, and he had also spoken to the Governor-General.
