Firm reviewing security provided at West Dem hospital

The security firm which guards the West Demerara Regional Hospital (WDRH) is reviewing its current approach to providing services to the facility following the incident in which a doctor was attacked by a patient two weeks ago.

Contacted for an update yesterday afternoon, Commander of ‘D’ Division Leslie James explained to Stabroek News that earlier this week a meeting was held with a representative of the security firm and several other officials, including Regional Executive Officer (REO) of Region Three Dennis Jaikarran, Deputy REO Jennifer Ferreira-Dougall and the hospital administrator to discuss the incident and the way forward.
