The Fort Wellington Hospital doctors who are under investigation by the Medical Council of Guyana (MCG) for allegedly overprescribing opioids have submitted their responses and are expected to be interviewed to determine culpability, according to Chairman     Dr Navindranauth Rambarran.

“The investigations are ongoing. After some amount of requesting and going after the records, we have those and have pretty much also gone through the process of asking the doctors to reply to the accusations, which they have mostly done,” Rambarran told Sunday Stabroek. “The next thing is we interview them, as necessary, and determine if [there is] culpability or any wrongdoing occurred,” he added.
