Patient complains about Skeldon Hospital treatment, authorities mum

Complaints regarding the delivery of regional health services have once again attracted the attention of the media, this time at the Skeldon Hospital.

The less than efficient service of the staff at the Skeldon Hospital was highlighted in a letter published in the last Sunday Stabroek.

However, attempts to contact the Skeldon Hospital for a comment proved futile. When the Director of Regional Health Services in the Ministry of Public Health, Dr. Kay Shako was reached, she suggested that the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health, Collette Adams would be in a better position to comment. It is unclear why Dr Shako would not speak considering that she is in charge of regional health services. Attempts by Stabroek News to speak with Adams also proved futile, as she was said to be unavailable.
