There was a heated exchange on Friday at the New Amsterdam Public Hospital between its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Colin Bynoe and Regional Executive Officer (REO) of Region Six Veerasammy Ramayya but the latter was not ordered out of the compound, the top health official in the region says.
Bynoe yesterday told Stabroek News that he was at an event when a staffer called and informed him that the REO was visiting the hospital and complaining about works that were supposed to be going on in the operating theatre. Bynoe stated that he spoke with the Regional Director of Health Services, Jevaughn Stevens who instructed him to go and see what was going on. Bynoe said when he went to the hospital he saw the REO in conversation with a doctor, and he told them, to let them go and discuss the matter in his office. However, the doctor excused himself, as he had no connection with the matter.
