Region Four Health Officer, Dr Gavinash Persaud says a refresher course in life support training will be held for personnel at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre following reports of the poor treatment of powerlifter Rawndel Clementson who later succumbed.
In an interview with Stabroek News on Tuesday Dr Persaud said that the reports of what transpired at the Centre when the late powerlifter went there for treatment have been reviewed.
His findings revealed that there was a deficit in staff training and to counter this issue 50 technical persons mainly doctors and nurses have been selected for a refresher course in life support training. They will also be trained in advanced cardiac life support. When asked about what’s being done for the family, Persaud said that he spoke to the wife of Clementson and they seemed pleased with what they were going to do.
