Two men, who pretended to be seeking medical attention, yesterday robbed a doctor and staff members at a health centre at ‘B’ Field, Sophia yesterday morning.
The attack occurred around 11 am.
The men reportedly pretended to be patients at the health centre last week and had been examined by the same doctor. They had also visited the health centre several times before.
A source told Stabroek News that the bandits held a gun to the doctor’s head while they relieved him of a gold chain and cellphone. They then ordered everyone else to handover their cellphones before escaping.
Stabroek News learnt that the concerns about security were raised with the Ministry of Public Health in the past but no action was taken.
