Gavin Richards

Gavin Richards, one of the five members of a Wakapau Village family that had been hospitalised after a mysterious illness that claimed the lives of two others two weeks ago, has been discharged from the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH).

A relative, Samantha Thomas yesterday told Stabroek News that Gavin Richards, who was admitted in the High Dependency Unit (HDU) of the GPH, was discharged last Tuesday.

Thomas said Gavin and another family member, Norman Thomas, who are still on treatment, remain in Georgetown as they await their next doctor’s appointment.
