Two years on, the Medical Council of Guyana’s disciplinary proceedings stemming from the deaths of three children, who were incorrectly administered medication at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), have not yet concluded.

Council Chairman Dr Navindranauth Rambaran told Stabroek News that there is no timeline as to when the hearings will be concluded.

He explained that as a result, the Council has approached the Ministry of Legal Affairs for an overhaul of sector’s  legislation and regulations.
