Doctors fingered in opioid prescription abuse complaint give statements to medical council

Statements have been taken from the three doctors attached to the Fort Wellington Hospital and the Medical Council of Guyana (MCG) is awaiting additional documents it requested as it continues its investigation into allegations of opioid prescription abuse levelled against the trio.

“The matter is still under investigation… We have received some documents and are awaiting some others,” Juanita Johnson of the MCG told Stabroek News on Thursday, when contacted.

Current head of the MCG, Dr Navin Rambarran is currently out of the country and referred this newspaper to Johnson.
