Medical Council erred in granting licence to Dr Vishwamintra Persaud -chairman

Chairman of the Medical Council of Guyana, Dr. Sheik Amir said yesterday that the body erred in granting Dr. Vishwamintra Persaud a licence to practice here, but he insisted that there is a process to follow before anything conclusive is done.

The Council has reached a decision, he said, but in keeping with procedure a letter was dispatched to Dr. Persaud yesterday calling on him to state why he should not be censored, suspended and or struck off the register. Dr. Persaud has seven days to respond.

Dr. Persaud had ignored an earlier letter
